JoanneNoll
I love the flavor of this tamarind, but the quality isn’t consistent. Every now and then I get a batch that’s fresh and delicious, but most of the time it’s hard and difficult to chew—like the one I recently purchased. I wish the quality were more reliable because I really enjoy the product when it’s fresh.
