Good

Pricey, but just what I needed for my pad Thai!

I use tamarind paste to make pad thai, and used to be able to get it at my local supermarket but no longer. So I looked at quite a few different types on Amazon, and chose this one for the price and good reviews. I think it's great. It is a bit small of a container, but it fits nicely in your fridge. I don't know if the container has changed from some of the reviews I saw, but this container is great. It has a very sturdy screw-on/off lid and a solid enough base. The texture is good, I like that it's smooth and doesn't contain bits of peel or seeds like some paste, and it's liquid enough to measure easily. Finally the taste is just as good as any other paste I've used, my pad thai tasted like it usually does.

Just received this product.. arrived with the seal broken and product leaking...

I used to be able to buy this product from The Spice House, but they have stopped carrying it. I was glad to find it on Amazon as we have no Middle Eastern or Indian food stores near our town. I was a little surprised at the smaller size (smaller than I was getting from TSH anyway) but I prefer the smaller size. A little of this stuff goes a long way. While it takes forever to go bad, I don't like keeping ingredients long (or throwing them out.) This tamarind paste is about the thickness of a heavy honey and has had all the seeds strained out. It's easy to measure, easy to use, and has a nice tart-tangy flavor. It's a bit expensive -- I paid less for the larger jar -- but the free shipping )on qualifying orders) takes a bit of the sting out.

This is good stuff, and the container is much bigger on the inside. We're talking Tardis-level bigger. How do I know? Somebody neglected to put the lid back on properly, and then it got knocked over while sitting on the top shelf of the refrigerator. At first, nobody noticed. Then the dripping began, and the dark-colored paste began showing up on a few items. We were baffled. We weren't sure what it was - some dark, mysterious liquid appearing on random containers of food. But the flow only increased with time, and it wasn't long before I opened the refrigerator and was met by a dark, sticky tide of fluid flowing out and threatening to drown me. It wouldn't be the worst way to go, but if I must drown in any liquid meant for human consumption, I'd much rather it be a fine Belgian Lambic. I escaped with my life, but it was many hours - days, even - before our kitchen was drained, the refrigerator emptied, and the entire sticky mess consigned to oblivion. And there is STILL paste left in the jar.
