Tamarind Paste (48 x 330g)

Tamarind paste is a thick, dark, sour fruit paste supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, takeaways, caterers and food manufacturers across the UK. Also known as imli, it gives curries, chutneys, sauces and marinades a sharp, fruity sourness. It removes the soaking, pressing and straining that block tamarind needs. A commercial kitchen can spoon it straight into the pot, which saves prep time and keeps batches consistent. Buying wholesale keeps this everyday souring ingredient in stock for service.

Key Features of Wholesale Tamarind Paste

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Suited to restaurants, takeaways and caterers that use tamarind every day. Food manufacturers and re-packers can also rely on it as a steady trade supply.
• Wholesale Trade Pricing: Buying in bulk gives a cost-effective price per portion compared with small retail jars. Regular buyers can plan stock against a competitive trade price.
• Sweet-Sour Flavour: The paste has a sharp, fruity sourness with a hint of dried-fruit sweetness. The flavour rounds out and deepens as a sauce simmers.
• Ready to Use: There is no soaking, pulping or sieving. Spoon it in, or loosen it with warm water to make a quick souring liquid.
• Smooth, Thick Texture: It dissolves evenly into sauces, dressings, marinades and drinks. Chefs can add small amounts and adjust to taste, which helps portion control.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep it in a cool, dry place and reseal tightly after opening. Use a clean spoon each time and keep it away from strong odours.
