Sweet, tangy & spicy heat. Contains seed. Traditional dulces enchilados. Resealable. : Grocery & Gourmet Food Review: Delicious - Amazingly surprised of how soft and fresh these were. Yes, it comes with the pod/seed inside and if you eat tamarindo, you know these are the best and not processed. Not too spicy and not to sweet . Perfect combo of salty, sweet and tajin-ish ,if you know miguelito kind of like that. Downside, the bad wad a bit small. Review: Surprisingly Good but………. - I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the various reviews so I will try to describe them a bit better. If you have eaten natural sweet tamarind pods you know you must first remove the hard outer shell of the pods and the main fiber strands that surround the tasty pulp that in turn surrounds the plants hard shiny 1/2” seeds. When I say hard I actually mean SUPER HARD!! It could possibly be a very painful and expen$ive mistake to try and chew the seeds!😖😳🥵 So the maker of these tasty treats was nice enough to remove the exterior pod and hard fibers but left the shiny black seeds that actually sound like pebbles when they hit each other or your teeth, and they left the tough hulls that cover the seeds in the sweet sticky pulp. Normally eating these is a rather slow and messy process as the thin hard shells crumble into many small pieces. Then after removing the main fiber strands you can either use your fingernails to remove the seeds or pop the hole thing (or smaller bites) in your mouth including the 1-6 (or more) seeds and use your tongue and teeth to separate the seeds and spit them out. Sometimes I also spit out the small chewy, thin seed hulls. OK so then the manufacturer covers the raw tamarind pulp/seed portion with the sugar/chile powder/salt etc. They are pretty yummy and I have to force myself to stop eating them after about 5-7 of them to prevent overdosing on the sugar. 👉Now can anyone tell me how a product whose serving size is listed at 60 grams, has sugar as the second ingredient, has 40 grams of sugar per serving then says it has ZERO grams of added sugar?🤔😳🤭🤷🏻‍♂️WTF??🤷🏻‍♂️ ## Features - PREMIUM MEXICAN TAMARINDO CANDY – Our sweet and spicy tamarindo candy features an authentic Tamarind taste that is sweet, tangy spicy and has been dusted with savory ground chili. - TANGY, SWEET AND SPICY FLAVOR – Nothing says Mexican candy quite like blending sweetness and spiciness together.

The chili sugar fruit was what I was looking for but the seeds are like stones and one small fruit can have as many as 4. Not able to enjoy as I wanted because I have to spit out the stoney seeds. Too much work. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamarindo De Frutas Con Chile, Authentic Mexican Tamarind Candy with Chili, Sweet, Tangy and Spicy. Dulce De Tamarindo 8.5 oz.
