Tamarind is native to tropical Africa, although it has been cultivated since prehistoric times in India. The perfect combination of tamarind, sugar, and chili is a good option for people who like to try different things.
My first impression upon opening the product package was like opening a bag of tea due to its peculiar smell. The texture is somewhat hard and dry on the outside. If you decide to share this snack with a small child, be careful! It contains a seed inside, which can be dangerous if a small child ingests the product without adult supervision — they could choke.
The spiciness of this candy may surprise you; it has a good level of mild heat, yet the bitter taste of tamarind is still noticeable. I remember trying the fruit in its natural state in Puerto Rico. The fruit in its natural state is a little more acidic, with milder sweet notes, and the acid level is higher.
So, if you want to try something different that doesn't look as delicious, give it a try. The product is a nine out of ten.
