HappyPanda 14 Ounce Seedless Tamarind Paste Pack (Imli | Me Chua | Tamarindo)

A lot of “seedless” tamarind products are NOT seedless. This product is fairly clean. I added a little bit of water in a sauce pan and gently heated it up until it more or less dissolved into the water. I passed it through a fine mesh strainer and had very little waste. I would recommend this product as one that is fairly easy to work with. Made an awesome Pad Thai and a delicious bbq sauce out of it. If you need tamarind, this is a good product.

This is kind of a strange product, but it was exactly what my recipe called for. There IS a difference between tamarind PULP and tamarind PASTE. This is tamarind PULP. It basically includes I think pieces of the tamarind pods--seeds, peels, etc. My recipe instructions said to mix with boiling water, kind of mash/break up the pulp, then let it sit for 30 minutes. Then you pour into a fine-mesh strainer and press the solids down to get a liquid. That is exactly what this product did. And, I'm glad I could buy a smaller amount (it's still a good-sized block considering my recipe only called for 1 1/2 T. and it was one of the cheapest tamarind pulp products on Amazon. My curry turned out wonderful, and I'm glad this was exactly what my recipe said it would be.

I've ordered and reviewed other Tamarind brands. I decided to give Happy Panda a try because there product is affordable and I really like that they're not forcing me to buy two at a time. This brand is really sour just what I was looking for. I really like how it's super seedless. If I could I would give the Happy Panda Brand an AWARD for freshness & the most clean Tamarind wet block I've ever brought. Omg, I made a juice with gun powder green tea and this Tamarind was the star of my tea. Wowza, the taste and sourness of this product is truly AMAZING. Exactly what I craved & wanted. In my opinion HAPPY PANDA is a quality Tamarind brand that's second to none. I'm not easily impressed but Happy Pandas Tamarind 14 ounce package is as good as it gets. You guy's have just earned a customer for life. I love your product & I highly recommend it.

good product quality, arrived quickly

It’s so fresh, with a truly pure tamarind taste. I made a concentrated tamarind paste and keep it in the fridge. With only two tablespoons of pulp, I can make a whole jar—it’s definitely worth it.
