Tamarind is the pulp of a tropical tree pod, with a tangy, sweet-sour flavor. It is used in sauces, soups, chutneys, drinks and candy.

What forms does tamarind come in?

Weee! carries tamarind as seedless pulp, slabs, concentrate, chutney, soup mix and candy. Concentrate is the quickest to use, while pulp blocks need soaking.

How do I use tamarind pulp?

Soak the pulp in hot water for about 15 minutes, mash it, then strain out seeds and fibers. Use the liquid in curries, sauces and soups.

What is the difference between tamarind paste and concentrate?

Concentrate is a thick, ready-to-use, strained paste; you use a spoonful. Pulp blocks still contain fiber or seeds and must be soaked and strained. Use less concentrate than pulp liquid.

What can I substitute for tamarind?

A mix of lime juice and brown sugar gives a similar sweet-sour taste, though it lacks tamarind's depth. Use about 1 tablespoon of lime juice with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar per tablespoon of tamarind paste as a starting point.

How should I store tamarind?

Store unopened concentrate and blocks in a cool, dry place. Refrigerate after opening, following the package label.

Where can I buy tamarind near me?

Weee! delivers Asian and Hispanic groceries to your door in many U.S. areas; enter your ZIP code at weee.com to see availability and delivery options. Options include Tamarind Seedless, Tamicon Tamarind Concentrate and Laxmi Tamarind Slab.

The prices are much better than Asian markets, the food is fresh, and it's packaged very carefully. I need to buy groceries from Wee every week, but there's no fresh food delivery service through Gofftown, so I can only order through a friend or acquaintance. It's a shame because it's so inconvenient! Hopefully, they will offer fresh food delivery through Gofftown in the future. I'll only buy from Wee and won't need to go to any other market anymore.
