[Product Information]
Tamarind - A fruit native to Asia and northern Africa. The large pods contain small seeds and a sour-sweet pulp that are compressed into cakes or blocks. Tamarind pulp is best known as a souring agent in food flavoring and is popular in East Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines.
What is Tamarind Paste - Tamarind paste is just the fruit (separated from the pod and seeds) of the tamarind tree made into a ready-to-use cooking paste. It comes in a jar or plastic tub-like container and one bottle is likely all you will need for a very long time, as the paste is usually quite strong and condensed.
Tamarind Concentrate - A tamarind, also known as Indian date or Tamarindo refers to a brown pod-shaped fruit from the African tamarind tree. Tamarind can be used in cooking as fresh or dry but will in most cases be available as concentrated pulp or can be further processed into tamarind concentrate. Tamarind concentrate is also known as tamarind paste and is has a sweet flavor with a sourness slightly stronger than that of a lemon juice.
Tamarind Pulp - Tamarind pulp is made from tamarind fruit whose husks have been removed and the remaining mass compressed tightly together. In most of the occasions, the pulp will not have any seeds, but there are a few times when you find seeds together with the pulp. The seeds will however not affect anything, and all you have to do is to remove them and proceed with the rest of the preparation process.
