Amazon Customer: Just used this today, I needed 12oz but I decided to order the 14oz in case I wanted more tang in my sauce, but when I measured with a measuring cup, the paste only measured 10oz. I’m pretty disappointed, I even tried to scrape everything inside to get it all out!, I was really hoping I’d have enough, but 4oz short is not right! So, if you like some extra paste, just make sure to order 2 or bigger container.

Ron Toolsie: There is not really much to write about this...the chances are if you are looking at this, you already know exactly what this product is.

I normally buy this from my local hispanic Supermarket, but for some reason, I could not find it stocked the last time, so I got it on Amazon. I have limited applications for this-so far it has gone into one Thai-style sauce, and also used as an adjunct flavor in some fermented pepper sauce that I make.

Because it is fairly concentrated, a little bit goes a long way. If you love the taste of tamarind, you will love this. And if you don't you won't.

Mike Elicson: Nice sour taste without being too sweet. Made Pad Thai and it was the taste that’s definitely needed. The only thing I don’t like is the container lid won’t stay on.

Amazon Customer: Very good product. No hassles of maintaining tamarind. A little bit is good enough.

DiHof: This product has good flavor. This tamarind concentrate is made from the sour variety of tamarind fruit used more in Indian cooking that the sweet tamarind fruit used in Thai cooking. That being said, it is great for use in Indian recipes such as tamarind rice and some curries. I've used it (mixed with a bit of honey) in a pinch for vinaigrettes when I don't have pomegranate molasses on hand.

Ensure that you have Thai Tamarind paste/concentrate on hand when craving a plate of Pad Thai.

S.S: Have been using this for last few years and no complaints. Easy to use , just a little bit is good enough for my cooking. Being a concentrate,taste and flavour is not affected at all. I have tried other brands but they put salt in it and taste is very off . Tamicon is my favourite, i use it to make chutneys , in sambhar and many other things . Hope my review helps . :)

benjamin bannister: Tamarind is the main ingredient to getting Pad Thai to taste the way it does. If you're trying to make Pad Thai yourself watch your recipes! Some of them will ask for a lot of Tamarind concentrate paste when you don't need much.

One of the realities of living with the internet is that lots of people copy other people's content, which includes recipes—without actually making it themselves. And what happens if one bad recipe gets written? People will copy it, and it will spread. Duplicates of a bad recipe will spread, everywhere.

I'm telling you about this because I came across two Shrimp Pad Thai recipes that turned out terrible. They called for too much Tamarind concentrate. Some sites said one or two tablespoons, while another said 1/4 or to 1/3 of a cup of it (which didn't sound right when I was making it at the time). My first batch of Pad Thai turned out overly concentrated with flavor and had to be tossed out. My second batch that I made right after was almost ruined as well, had I (instinctively) only put half the actual amount of Pad Thai sauce in with the noodles. You could say, "blame the cook," but no, these were just really bad recipes from people that...
