Sourcing & Quality
How can I be sure Sindhi dry fruits are fresh?
Every batch carries a manufacture date and best-before date printed on the label. Shelf life from dispatch is 3–4 months for most products — stored correctly in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Our facility holds products in temperature-controlled, humidity-regulated chambers to preserve freshness naturally — no oil spray, no added preservatives.
Where do you source your dry fruits?
We source directly from origin: almonds from Afghanistan and Kashmir, pistachios from Iran and Afghanistan, walnuts from Chile and Jammu, cashews from Vietnam and Kerala, raisins from Afghanistan and Nasik. Eighty-five years of trading have built relationships with supplier families who know our standards — every consignment is hand-assessed by our team before it enters our facility.
Are your products free from preservatives?
None. Our nitrogen-flushed, food-grade packaging preserves freshness without sulphur, oil spray, or artificial preservatives. What you receive is the natural nut, exactly as it arrived from the farm.
Are you FSSAI licensed and certified?
Yes. Sindhi Dry Fruits holds a valid FSSAI license, as required under FSS (Labelling & Display) Regulations 2020 — our license number is printed on every pack. Our facility operates under ISO 22000:2018 food safety management standards.
What varieties of dry fruits do you carry?
We carry a wide range including: Almonds (Mamra, California, Gurbandi), Cashews (W180, W240, W320), Pistachios (Iranian, Afghan), Walnuts (Kashmiri, Chilean), Raisins (Afghan, Kishmish, Green), Dried Figs, Dates (Medjool, Ajwa, Mabroom), Apricots, Prunes, Mixed Trail Mix, Pine Nuts, Macadamia, and seasonal specials. Browse our full catalogue at sindhidryfruits.live/collections/all.
What makes Sindhi Dry Fruits different from supermarket brands?
Three things: origin, freshness, and honesty. We source directly from farms — not through multi-tier distributors — so the price you pay is closer to origin. We don't use oil spray to make nuts look shiny. We don't blend premium grades with inferior ones. Our 85-year reputation is built on the principle that a customer who trusts you once should trust you forever.
Popular Products & Pricing
What is Mamra Badam and how is it different from regular almonds?
Mamra Badam is a premium almond variety sourced from Afghanistan and Kashmir — smaller, more wrinkled, and richer in aroma than the California almond. Its higher oil content (50–55%, compared to the California almond's 35–40%) gives it a dense, nutty flavour that survives soaking overnight — which is how it has been eaten across the subcontinent for generations. Mamra is always raw and unprocessed, never pasteurized or oiled.
What is Gurbandi Badam and why is it special?
Gurbandi Badam is a small, double-kernel almond from Jalalabad, Afghanistan. The name comes from 'gur' (sweet) and 'bandi' (small). It is significantly smaller than the California almond, with a higher concentration of natural oils that give it a mildly bitter-sweet flavour — distinctive enough that long-time customers order it by name alone. In Delhi's dry-fruit trade, Gurbandi has been the soaking almond of choice for generations. Our Gurbandi is sourced directly from Afghanistan and is never oiled or treated.
What is Chilgoza (Pine Nuts) and what makes it special?
Chilgoza is the edible seed of the Chilgoza Pine (Pinus gerardiana), native to the Hindukush-Himalayan region. It is one of India's rarest dry fruits — harvested by hand from pine cones in the high-altitude forests of Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh. The harvest season is short and the yield painstaking, which is why it commands a premium. We stock Chilgoza Giri (shelled kernels) and Chilgoza Sabut (whole in shell), sourced directly from Kinnaur. Its delicate, resinous flavour is unlike any other nut.
What are the current prices of cashews, almonds, and other dry fruits?
Our prices are updated regularly based on seasonal harvest availability. We source directly — without multi-tier distribution — so the price you pay is closer to origin. For the most accurate live prices, browse sindhidryfruits.live or WhatsApp us at +91-81784-74593. All prices are inclusive of GST — no hidden charges.
