Cốt Me Thiên Lộc is a tamarind concentrate produced by the Vietnamese company Thiên Lộc in Ho Chi Minh City. The product is based on tamarind pulp from which the seeds and other solid parts are removed during processing. The remaining pulp is processed into a thick, smooth paste suitable for direct use in food preparation. The producer describes it as pure tamarind concentrate and does not list other ingredients in the available product information. Tamarind gives the concentrate its characteristic intensely sour and fruity taste, allowing it to serve as a source of acidity in various dishes. Unlike whole tamarind, the product does not require soaking or the manual separation of seeds and pulp before use. It is primarily intended for preparing Vietnamese dishes such as sour soups and other tamarind-based specialties. Thiên Lộc recommends it for hot pots, canh chua, stir-fried snails, dishes with duck eggs, and various vegetarian preparations.
