The flavor of this tamarind paste is robust and complex. It has a unique tartness that's reminiscent of lemons but with a deeper, more earthy undertone. The sweetness is subtle, just enough to balance the acidity without overpowering it. This is the kind of ingredient that adds a depth of flavor to dishes, making them taste like they've been simmering for hours.
Texture-wise, the paste is wonderfully smooth and concentrated. A little goes a long way, and its consistency makes it easy to mix into marinades, sauces, or even beverages. It's like a dollop of this paste brings a whole new dimension to your cooking, unlocking flavors you didn't know your food could achieve.
The organic aspect is a huge plus. Knowing that the tamarind is sourced from organic farms adds a level of trust and satisfaction. It's not just good for your dishes; it's good for the planet too. It's like each spoonful comes with a side of environmental responsibility.
And let's not forget the versatility. This tamarind paste is a chameleon in the kitchen. From traditional Indian curries and tamarind rice to modern fusion dishes and even cocktails, it's an ingredient that crosses culinary borders with ease.
TL;DR: Pure Organic Tamarind Paste Concentrate is a must-have for any adventurous cook. Its complex flavor profile adds a tart, tangy, and subtly sweet depth to a wide variety of dishes. This smooth, concentrated paste is not only versatile and organic but also a little jar of tropical sunshine that can brighten up any meal.
Also, if you are making Thai or Filipino food, keep in mind that this is an Indian Tamarind Paste, so it’s much more concentrated. But, you can dilute it a bit with water as needed.
The product is in a glass jar, and despite being sent in a large shipment with boxed goods that got quite dented up by the time we got them, this jar arrived in perfect condition, very carefully packaged by the seller. I highly recommend this tamarind paste from Pure Indian Foods.
Flavor was that of tamarind fruit for sure but texture had me second guessing how natural this product was.
I’ll use it for sauces and dips but not sure I’ll repurchase
