Tamarind: Seedless

These blocks of tamarind pulp are the tamarind fruit pods stripped of the outer husk and compressed tightly together. Sometimes the seeds are removed, but we usually find a few errant seeds even in packages marked “seedless.”

The pulp itself is very fibrous, so we need to soften it and push it through a fine meshed strainer to separate the edible pulp from the strands of fiber.
