Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between tamarind paste and concentrate?
Tamarind paste contains the pulp with fibers and seeds strained out. Concentrate is more processed and thicker. Paste has more authentic flavor but concentrate is more convenient. Use about half as much concentrate as paste.
Is tamarind the same as tamarindo candy?
Tamarindo candy is made from tamarind pulp with added sugar and sometimes chili. The candy is much sweeter than natural tamarind. Natural tamarind pulp is quite tart and sour with subtle sweetness.
