This page shares general nutrient and fibre facts. Persistent digestive symptoms — chronic constipation, IBS, IBD — are clinical issues that deserve a gastroenterologist consultation. Increase fibre gradually with adequate water; sudden large increases can worsen discomfort.
Average Indian fibre intake is roughly 20–25g/day; ICMR-NIN recommends 40g/day for adults. Constipation, sluggish digestion, and the related discomfort affect a substantial portion of urban Indian adults. Diet — specifically fibre intake and hydration — is among the most modifiable factors.
Dietary fibre is the indigestible portion of plant food that adds bulk to stool, supports gut motility, and feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Soluble fibre (found in figs, prunes, dates) absorbs water and softens stool. Insoluble fibre (found in nuts and seeds) adds bulk. The Indian tradition of soaking dried fruits overnight is essentially pre-hydrating the soluble fibre.
USDA: anjeer (dried figs) — 9.8g fibre per 100g; prunes — 7.1g per 100g; dates — 6.7g per 100g; almonds — 12.5g per 100g (mostly insoluble). A small handful combining anjeer + almonds provides roughly 6–7g fibre — about 17% of the daily target in one snack.

The anjeer-prune-dates trio has been the foundation of our digestion-mindful customer baskets since 1939. Across approximately 1 million Delhi families, the most common single recommendation our shopfloor staff make is overnight-soaked anjeer first thing in the morning.
Why the brand variable matters
What 85 years of supplying 5M+ Indian families has taught us
For digestion-mindful eating, additive-free matters. Our anjeer is sun-dried, unsulphured (no sulphur dioxide preservative). Our prunes are minimally processed. Our dates carry no added glucose syrup. The fibre is doing the work; we are not in the way of it.
Single-origin sourcing
California almonds, Kashmir walnuts, Iranian pistachios — traceable to grower co-ops.
Hand-sorted and quality-checked per batch
Hand-sorted and quality-checked at our ISO 22000:2018 certified facility before our shelves.
Unsulphured by default
Sun-dried or oven-dried. No sulphur-dioxide preservatives in our dried fruits.
Nitrogen-flushed and sealed
Nitrogen-flushed packaging prevents nut-oil rancidity and preserves freshness from seal to table.

The nutrient picture
What you are actually choosing for
Each card below names a nutrient relevant to this concern, what it does in the body per established research, and which of our dry fruits carry it. Not therapeutic claims — nutrient facts.
Dietary fibre
Fibre
The indigestible portion of plant food that adds bulk to stool, supports gut motility, and feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Soluble fibre absorbs water and softens stool; insoluble fibre adds bulk.
Found in
Anjeer (dried figs): 9.8g fibre/100g; Prunes: 7.1g/100g; Dates: 6.7g/100g; Almonds: 12.5g/100g (mostly insoluble)
Adult RDA
40g/day (ICMR-NIN adult target); average Indian intake is roughly 20-25g/day
ICMR-NIN; USDA FoodData Central

What our customers typically choose
Customers buying with digestion in mind typically pick a 500g anjeer pack, 250g prunes, 500g of dates, and a small bag of almonds. The order pattern is monthly, often with a note that the anjeer is for grandmother and the dates are for the children.

How people actually use these
Suggested daily rhythm
Portion guidance, not medical instruction. The three tiles below reflect when our customers managing this concern most often choose to eat — your own clinician will know how to tune this to you.
Morning
With breakfast
2–3 overnight-soaked anjeer first thing in the morning, with the soaking water if you prefer. The soluble fibre is pre-hydrated and gentlest on an empty stomach — a multi-generation North Indian household routine.
Mid-afternoon
The 4pm pause
2–3 prunes mid-day. Prunes contain sorbitol, a natural sugar alcohol that draws water into the intestine — nutrition research consistently flags this as a useful gentle laxative effect.
Evening
Dessert substitute
A small handful of almonds with dinner for insoluble fibre, plus plenty of water through the day. Fibre needs water to work; without it, increasing fibre can worsen rather than improve regularity.
Indicative split based on ICMR-NIN portion guidance for nuts and dried fruits. Individual needs vary by energy expenditure and clinician advice.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask before they buy
Honest, nutrient-first answers. We do not make therapeutic claims; we share dietary facts and serving guidance.
Should I soak almonds before eating them?
Soaking is a long-standing Indian household practice, partly cultural and partly digestive. Soaking softens the skin (which contains tannins that some find harder to digest) and can make the nut feel more palatable. From a nutrient standpoint, USDA values do not change meaningfully with soaking. Eat them whichever way you prefer.
Do you sell unsulphured dried fruits?
Yes — unsulphured is our default. Most apricots and other golden-coloured dried fruits in the wider market are treated with sulphur dioxide (a preservative that keeps the fruit looking bright). Our unsulphured line uses sun-dried fruit; the colour will be darker and more natural. Look for the 'unsulphured' label on the product page.
Where do you source from and what is your quality control process?
We have been sourcing dry fruits since 1939 and currently serve 5M+ Indian families through our K-14 Lajpat Nagar shopfloor. Sourcing is single-origin where possible (Mamra almonds from Iran, Mevawala kishmish from Afghanistan, Anjeer from Turkey). Each batch is quality-checked in our FSSAI-licensed facility for moisture, aflatoxin, and microbial counts, then nitrogen-flushed and sealed within 48 hours of arrival to preserve nutrient density.
How much fibre do anjeer, prunes, dates and almonds actually provide?
Per 100g: anjeer (dried figs) provide 9.8g fibre, prunes 7.1g, dates 6.7g, and almonds 12.5g (mostly insoluble). ICMR-NIN recommends 40g of fibre a day for adults, while average Indian intake sits closer to 20-25g a day, so these dry fruits can contribute toward closing that gap. For persistent digestive symptoms such as chronic constipation or IBS, please consult a gastroenterologist.
What is the difference between soluble and insoluble fibre in these dry fruits?
Soluble fibre, found in anjeer, prunes and dates, absorbs water and softens stool. Insoluble fibre, found in almonds, adds bulk. Pairing a soluble-fibre dry fruit with almonds in the same snack draws on both mechanisms.
Why are prunes considered gentle on digestion?
Prunes contain sorbitol, a natural sugar alcohol that draws water into the intestine. Dietary research consistently links this mechanism to a mild laxative effect, which is part of why prunes are a frequent choice in digestion-conscious eating. At 7.1g fibre per 100g, prunes also contribute soluble fibre alongside the sorbitol effect.
Does soaking anjeer before eating make a difference for digestion?
Soaking anjeer overnight is a long-standing Indian household practice. It pre-hydrates the soluble fibre, so it arrives at your stomach already partly softened, which some people find gentler first thing in the morning. USDA fibre values (9.8g per 100g) do not change with soaking; it is a preparation preference, not a nutrient difference.
How much of my daily fibre target can a small handful of anjeer and almonds cover?
A small handful combining anjeer and almonds provides roughly 6-7g fibre, about 17% of the ICMR-NIN's 40g daily target, in a single snack. It does not replace whole grains, vegetables and legumes as fibre sources, but it is a substantive contribution from one snack. Building fibre up gradually, alongside adequate water, tends to work better than one large increase, which can cause discomfort instead of relief.
