What is Tamarind Paste?

Our organic tamarind paste is a puree made with the fruit of the tamarind tree. These beanlike pods contain a dark brown fibrous, sticky fruit that becomes sweeter as it ripens.

Our tamarind paste is a puree made with less ripe pods, making it perfect for adding a sour and tart punch to chutneys, curries, sambhars, marinades, stir-fries, and noodle dishes like pad thai. Just use it straight from the jar, no extra work needed!

Other brands of tamarind concentrate are frequently watered down and mixed with preservatives and pickling agents like sodium benzoate and citric acid. Not ours! We are proud to provide you with 100% pure tamarind puree with absolutely nothing else added.

The sour taste in tamarind comes from tartaric acid. The acidity means that tamarind can be used much like citrus in cooking.

In India, tamarind concentrate is used to add sourness to curries. In Thai or Chinese cuisine, it’s added to hot-and-sour soups. In the Middle East, it’s used to make many refreshing summer drinks, or simply eaten raw.

What is the tamarind fruit like?

Tamarind is a tangy, tropical, nutrient-rich fruit native to Africa which has been widely cultivated in Asia and the tropics of the Americas, primarily in Mexico and the Caribbean. If you're fortunate, you may come across tamarind in the pod when shopping for Southeast Asian, Indian, or Latin American ingredients.

Most fruit sold in the pod is already ripe. While the unripe fruit is intensely sour, the ripe fruit is sticky and sweetly sour. After peeling away the brown outer shell, you expose the sticky brown fruit inside, which can be pulled away from the seed pod.

Common Questions

Is tamarind paste the same as tamarind concentrate?

Many people use these two terms interchangeably, while others believe they are totally different things.

Our organic tamarind concentrate is 100% pure tamarind puree with nothing else added, so it is both a paste and an authentic concentrate.
