1. Someone gifted me a bottle of Maggi brand tamarind concentrate.

It’s quite good. It adds just a little something to soups, dressings and sauces. I wish I Could tell you how much sodium is in it, but I can’t because the label isn’t in English. It does appear that Nestle is the parent company of this brand.

2. I've always used Asian Kitchen brand

Bright yellow label with red print.

3. I buy something called "deSiam Tamarind Stir-Fry Paste."

It comes in little boxes with 2 plastic packets in each. Since I don't use it all that often I like that it's separately packaged. I got a great deal on-line when our local natural foods store discontinued it. Wish I could remember where I bought it. Either ebay or Amazon I imagine. It was in bulk so I've now got enough for a couple of years. LOL.
