For any professional kitchen or food factory, consistency is not just about quality. It is also about cost control and customer trust. One of the most essential ingredients in Thai and Southeast Asian cooking is tamarind. But not all tamarind concentrates are the same, and not all labels tell the full story.

This article will help you understand why some tamarind products deliver less than expected, and how the right formula can protect your margins and your reputation.

💡 The “100% Tamarind” Label Can Be Misleading

You may have seen products with a bold label that says “100% Tamarind.” At first glance, this sounds like a guarantee of purity and high concentration.

However, in many cases, the phrase refers only to the type of tamarind used, not the actual percentage of tamarind in the product. This creates confusion and can lead customers to believe they are getting a pure or highly concentrated product, when they are not.

Some of these products contain as little as 5 to 10 percent real tamarind. The rest may include water, starches, thickeners, artificial flavors, and colorings that imitate the appearance and taste of real tamarind pulp.

Even though this type of labeling may follow the rules, it often gives buyers the wrong impression. You may end up using more product to get the right flavor, which raises your food cost and leads to inconsistent results.

✅ Our Formula: One and Only

At P. Prateepthong Best Food, we use one trusted formula for all our markets. Our recipe is a careful blend of pure tamarind pulp and our unique, purified water base. This special base, made from purified water and essential natural components, helps control consistency and texture, and extends shelf life without the need for thickeners, starch, or artificial flavors. It is designed to deliver rich flavor, smooth texture, and reliable performance in every dish.

About Our “99.9% Tamarind Mixed Concentrate” Thai Label

On our Thai domestic label, the product is described as:

“99.9% Tamarind Mixed Concentrate”

This label format follows local Thai regulations. It means that:

• The tamarind and functional base blend is counted as a single concentrated base

• The remaining 0.1 percent is a food-safe preservative (sodium benzoate)

• No additional ingredients such as starch, acidity regulators, or artificial flavoring agents are added

In all markets, we sell the exact same product. Only the label format is different.

💬 Why Customers Stay With Us

One of our longtime buyers once tried switching to a lower-cost tamarind concentrate. After testing the product in their kitchen, they returned to us and said:

“We couldn’t replace your product. The flavor just wasn’t there.”

This is common feedback. When tamarind content is too low, it takes more product to achieve the same flavor. That adds cost and reduces consistency.
