Are they salty? I like salty?

No, I find them sweet, spicy and fruity, not salty.

Does it have lead in the candy

Within the last 10 years or so. The FDA has tested imported candy from around the world. You should feel safe so about this product.

I had these a while ago, but I believe it was 12 carbs per serving

What are the ingredients?

Tamarind pulp, sugar, salt, ground chili, citric acid, & sodium benzonate as preservative (per label)

great taste and size

Really enjoy these goodies. I feel it is a little treat for me. Different sizes but the same outburst of flavor. I find the big blocks of these but this kind, is better. easier to carry and eat. Just enough spice and goo. yummy

The seeds are a deal-breaker

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.

Sweet, sour and salty

Although we loved this, fair warning!! These are sugary, salty, sweet and tart. Keep away from the kids.

Great Snack.

Great tamarindo taste and the chili is just enough to satisfy the palate. Nice quantity in the package for the price. I especially liked the package that it came in because you can seal the package (like a ziplock bag) after you finish eating candied tamarindo.

So Tasty, But There Are Seeds

Delicious. The tamarind is soft and chewy and the outside has a little crunch. The seasoning on it is salty, sweet, and a bit tart. It has a bit of a kick. It is a perfectly balanced taste. Be aware that these do have seeds, and children should not eat this.
