Tamarind Paste vs Tamarind Concentrate: What's the Difference?

Tamarind paste is a smooth, ready-to-use concentrated product with pulp, fiber, and seeds removed, suited for direct blending into food and beverage formulations. Tamarind concentrate is typically a more diluted or syrup-style format, while tamarind block retains the raw, unprocessed fruit form including fibrous material and seeds that require in-house processing. ARFLINT's tamarind paste eliminates the labor of processing raw tamarind blocks in-house.

Bulk tamarind paste is made from naturally sourced tamarind (Tamarindus Indica L) that is sorted to remove fibrous material, seeds, and shell fragments, washed, and processed to a smooth, concentrated finesse. At Aromas and Flavors International (ARFLINT), Erode, Tamil Nadu, this is carried out under FSSC 22000 (TÜV SÜD), HACCP, and GMP certified conditions, preserving the fruit's natural tartaric and citric acid content and signature tangy-sweet flavor.
