2. Nuts — badam, kaju, pista, akhrot, chilgoza
Badam (almonds, بادام) is the nut Pakistan buys most. Two types matter: American badam (large, everyday — 250g from Rs 1,150) and Mamra badam (smaller, sweeter, more oil — 250g Rs 1,650). If you soak badam overnight, either works; Mamra is the one people ask for by name.
Kaju (cashews, کاجو) are soft and creamy. Raw kaju 250g is Rs 1,400; roasted and salted packs cost a little more. Whole kaju costs more than broken pieces — if a price looks too low, check whether the pack is whole or broken.
Pista (pistachios, پستہ) in Pakistan usually means salted Irani pista (250g Rs 1,700). Pista kernels (maghz, shelled) cost far more — 250g Rs 2,750 — because the shelling is done by hand.
Akhrot (walnuts, اخروٹ) come as desi giri (kernels, 250g Rs 1,000) or kaghzi akhrot (soft shell you can crack by hand, 250g Rs 400). Desi giri costs more because the cracking is already done.
Chilgoza (pine nuts, چلغوزہ) is the most expensive everyday dry fruit in Pakistan. In-shell organic chilgoza is 250g Rs 2,000 (1kg Rs 8,000); Bannu grade is 250g Rs 3,500; export quality 250g Rs 3,250. Kernels (without shell) cost more per gram because the shell weight is gone.

3. Dates and dried fruits — khajoor, kishmish, anjeer, khubani
Khajoor (dates) have their own names because each type tastes different. Ajwa (عجوہ) from Madina is dark, soft and the priciest — 1kg Rs 4,600. Mabroom (مبروم) is long, chewy and a little drier — 250g Rs 1,200. Medjool (مجدول) is the big, soft one people buy for gifts — Rs 5,230 as listed. Sukkari (سکری) is golden and very sweet. If a shop just says "dates" without a name, ask which one it is.
Kishmish (raisins, کشمش), anjeer (dried figs, انجیر), khubani (dried apricots, خوبانی) and aloo bukhara (dried plums / prunes, آلو بخارا) are the classic dried fruits. They are sold by weight, and the price moves with the season — check the live dry fruits price list before you buy, and do not trust a fixed "per kg" number from an old article.
4. Seeds and the rest — magaz, til, makhana, khopra
Magaz (pumpkin seeds, کدو کے بیج), til (sesame, تل), alsi (flaxseed, السی), chia seeds and sunflower seeds are seeds, not nuts — but Pakistani shops sell them with dry fruits, and customers search for them the same way. Makhana (مکھانا, fox nuts) is a light popped snack, good for people who want something crunchy without frying. Khopra (کھوپرا, dried coconut) is used in cooking and sweets more than snacking.
5. How to buy — five quick checks before you pay
- Sealed pack, not loose weight. Loose stock dries out and picks up smells; sealed packs keep the oil fresh. Chilgoza especially goes bitter fast in heat — buy small sealed packs.
- Price per 250g, not per pack. Packs come in 100g, 250g, 500g and 1kg. Divide the price by the weight before you compare two shops.
- Look at the grade name. "American", "Mamra", "Bannu", "Irani", "Madina" are not decoration — they are the reason for the price difference.
- Check delivery and COD. Khan Dry Fruits delivers nationwide with cash on delivery — order on the product page and pay when the parcel arrives.
- Start small with a new item. One 250g pack tells you more about quality than any description. If it tastes fresh, order the kilo next time.
