Seedless tamarind is compressed brown tamarind pulp sold without seeds. It is sticky and pliable, dissolving into a deeply tart, dark-fruity infusion when soaked. Cooks strain the soaked pulp to make tamarind water for curries, chutneys, soups, and drinks; the blocks are commonly sold vacuum-packed.

Native to tropical Africa, tamarind spread through South Asia and the tropics via trade and cultivation. Seedless blocks are produced by soaking, deseeding, and pressing the pulp, and they are staples in Indian, Thai, Filipino, and Mexican pantries.
