Review: Great Value for the Price - I grew up on Sunday lunches where my Lola or Nanay would hover over a pot of sinigang, shooing me away until the broth had the perfect tamarind tang. When I spotted this Sinigang sa Sampalok mix on desertcart, I grabbed a bundle faster than you can say “extra sili on the side.” One packet, a pound of pork ribs (or pork belly or shrimp), and a handful of spinach (because I rarely find kangkong at our local store) later, my kitchen smelled just like home—minus the Bulacan humidity and Lola’s or Nanay's wooden spoon tapping my wrist. Flavor‑wise, it hits all the nostalgic notes: bright, pleasantly sour, with just enough depth to make the meat fall‑off‑the‑bone savory. The powder dissolves in seconds, so dinner’s on the table in under 45 minutes (I usually pressure-cook my meat)—a lifesaver after a long workday. I also appreciate that desertcart keeps the price reasonable; our local Asian grocery sells the same packs for almost double (and I can't blame them because they're just a small mom-and-pop sari-sari store). A few quibbles: each sachet is pretty small, so I burn through them quickly (I normally use 2 sachets for 3 lbs of meat or 2 lbs of shrimp). The sodium is undeniably high, but I don't really care. I love second, third, sometimes fourth helpings. Bottom line: if you’re craving a taste of home or just want to try a Filipino comfort classic without fussing with fresh tamarind, this mix is absolutely worth adding to your pantry. It won’t replace Lola or Nanay, but it comes deliciously close.

Excellent Seasoning Mix
I absolutely love this Sinigang Hot Mix. I love the spice it has. It's perfect for me! If you like Hot and Spicy, try this next time you make Sinigang soup!

Convenient and more flavorful than the NOT hot mix.
Shipped quickly and didn't use an obnoxious amount of packaging. Can't find this spicy version of the product in stores near me so this was convenient. Easy to cook with and strong tasty flavor. More sour than the non-spicy version I prefer this one.
