In the nearest city, find an Indian store. They'd have seedless
tarmarind (already takenthe shell out) as well as the paste. Paste
taste is inferior in my opinion. They'd also have palm sugar. Asian
stores would have these but I find taramarind from Indian store a much
better quality. Just put them in an airtight conrainer - I put it in
rubbermaid leaving it in the package it comes with to prevent drying
out completely. I got palm sugar from Asian store; still haven't used
it yet.
