Tamarind Candy with Chili 8.5oz Dulce de Tamarindo Mexican Sweet Spicy | Authentic chewy tamarindo pulp candy. Sweet, tangy & spicy heat. Contains seed. Traditional dulces enchilados. Resealable.

These are genuinely good. The tamarind-chili balance is right — sweet, sour, and spicy without any one flavor overpowering the others. Texture is soft and chewy, not gritty or overly sticky like some tamarind candies I've had. Nothing tastes off or artificial, and the 16oz size lasts a while. Packaging arrived intact. I have already ordered a 2nd package!

I really enjoyed this product. It came fresh and I love that its real tamarind fruit. Seeds are to be expected as anyone eating tamarind fruit knows. Its not spicy at all the chile is slight.

I couldn't find the whole tamarind pods anywhere online, this was the closest option available. I noticed a lot of reviews complaining about the seeds, but anyone who has eaten tamarind straight from the tree knows that seeds are just part of the experience. May be seller mention this on the packaging so that people who are new to tamarind are not caught by surprise. I grew up picking both green and ripe red tamarind from under the tree, I prefer it in its natural form. This one is coated with light sugar, salt and spice. Some of the pods tasted tangy and sour as expected, while others a bit stale and bitter, not sure why. I bought the larger pack and the quality of pods was much better compared to the small one. I have been snacking on these every day. 4 stars because it's a bit pricey and spice although not bad, wish it had a bit more kick. That said, I am pretty sure I will be buying this again.

Real tamarind fresh from the pod, not processed. Generously covered in chili and sugars. High quality delicious treat.

Be cautious. 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.

The seeds are like little rocks. I tried to chew them but they're not breaking. I don't know if this is actually edible or if I'm supposed to spit them out or what. Flavor wise the chili is good. The flavor is good but I also didn't realize how much carbohydrates is in this product. I don't think I'm going to try to finish the rest of this bag due to the seeds. I could overlook the carbohydrates but the seeds are a deal breaker. I think I'm going to take them to the shop and hit him with the hammer and see how much force it takes to actually crush these seeds open because my teeth cannot do it.

I purchase three-16oz pkg and snak sandwich bags to store. This brand has been very fresh which is key for consistency. Divide the tamarind into 10 small pieces per bag (this amount works for me) use daily over 30 days. You will notice that you are regular and no constipation. If you are seriously constipated to start consume a generous serving, do not eat the seeds, the tamarind will resolve your issues immediately. The key is finding the correct amount of Tamarind that works specifically for you. Caution if you over indulge the opposite effect WILL OCCUR. Less is truly more. This will keep you consistent and it is also a great source of magnesium.

I was really excited to try Tamarindo De Frutas Con Chile Tamarind Bites given my love for tamarind candy, but unfortunately, this product didn’t live up to expectations. The flavor itself is good — the sweet and tangy tamarind with a hint of chile is definitely appealing. It has that authentic taste you’d expect from tamarind candy and a nice spicy kick. However, the flavor alone can't save this product from its major flaws. The biggest issue with these tamarind bites is the huge amount of seeds and bits of fruit inside. Every piece is littered with hard seeds and chunks of tamarind fruit, making it almost impossible to enjoy. The texture is off-putting, and the seeds are a real obstacle when trying to chew through the candy. It feels like you're eating more bits of fruit and seeds than actually enjoying the sweet treat itself. It’s frustrating because the flavor could be great if it weren’t for these texture issues. The seeds make it so difficult to eat, and the fruit bits just disrupt the overall experience. I ended up spitting out more than I actually enjoyed, which is a huge letdown. The packaging is fine, and the size is reasonable for the price, but the poor texture and large amount of inedible parts make this feel like a wasted purchase. I would definitely not buy these again. While the tamarind flavor is decent, the overwhelming presence of seeds and fruit bits makes Tamarindo De Frutas Con Chile Tamarind Bites almost inedible. If you’re looking for a smooth and enjoyable tamarind candy experience, this one misses the mark. Flavor is good, but the texture is a dealbreaker.
