The Tamarind Block with Seeds, offered by the TRS brand, is the essence of Asia's sour-sweet flavor, sealed in a natural, concentrated form. Tamarind, the fruit of the tropical tree Tamarindus indica, is one of the most important ingredients in many cuisines worldwide, from Indian (where it is key in chutneys and sambars) to Mexican (where it is used for agua fresca drinks).

This product is pure, thick tamarind pulp (80%), combined with water (20%). It is prepared in a convenient block form which, thanks to minimal processing and preservation, retains an authentic, intense flavor. The presence of seeds is evidence of its minimally processed nature and proximity to the raw fruit, which is valued by chefs who appreciate traditional methods. Before use, it only requires soaking in hot water, which allows for the creation of a dense, aromatic puree or clear juice.

Tamarind is best known for its complex flavor palette: it is initially distinctly sour, then develops a deep fruity sweetness and a subtle, yet characteristic tart finish. It is this balance that makes it irreplaceable as a natural souring agent, adding depth and tanginess to dishes where lemon juice or vinegar would typically be used.

In Asian cuisine, the tamarind block is indispensable for preparing the famous Thai Pad Thai, Vietnamese canh chua soups, or the Filipino Sinigang stew, where tamarind is used as a traditional souring component. It is also excellent for marinating meats, creating distinctive barbecue sauces and curries, as well as for preparing refreshing, tart drinks and sweet preserves.

The TRS brand supplies high-quality raw materials, allowing you to recreate the authentic flavors of Southeast Asia in your own kitchen. The tamarind block is the perfect choice for those who want to control the intensity of the tamarind flavor in their dishes, and yet value ingredients free of unnecessary additives (tamarind and water are the only ingredients). Introduce an exotic note of sourness to your dishes that will turn ordinary meals into culinary masterpieces.
