Short answer
Badam (almond) prices in Pakistan depend on type — American, kagzi (soft shell), mamra and gurbandi are different products at different prices. At Khan Dry Fruits, American Badam Giri costs Rs 1,100 for 250g, Rs 2,200 for 500g and Rs 4,400 for 1kg, checked 27 October 2026. The separate American Almond listing costs Rs 1,150 (250g), Rs 2,250 (500g) and Rs 4,400 (1kg). Kagzi, mamra and gurbandi badam are listed separately on the store at their own prices — compare the same type and the same pack size, never a mixed "badam" average. Prices move with import rates and season, so confirm the live price on the product page before you order.
Badam price in Pakistan 2026 — verified live packs ✅
| Listing | 250g | 500g | 1kg |

| American Almond (Badam) | Rs 1,150 | Rs 2,250 | Rs 4,400 |

Badam types — what the names actually mean
- American badam: large, uniform kernels, the everyday standard. Good for soaking, snacking and cooking. This is the price most "badam price in Pakistan" searches are really asking about.
- Kagzi badam (soft shell): thin, papery shell that cracks easily by hand. Sold in-shell; you pay some shell weight, but the kernels are fresh and the shell protects them.
- Mamra badam: smaller, darker kernels, oilier and stronger-tasting. Priced higher than American badam. Often bought for traditional use and winter diets.
- Gurbandi badam (desi badam giri): small desi kernels, stronger flavour, usually the cheapest of the named types. Popular for soaking and grinding.
- Roasted/salted badam: a snack product, not a cooking almond. Priced separately — do not compare it with raw badam per kilo.
If a listing just says "badam" with no type, you do not know what you are buying. The type name is the price.
Why do badam prices differ so much between shops?
Badam is imported, so the dollar rate, customs duty and freight feed directly into the price. Within that, grade is everything: uniform large kernels cost more than mixed sizes; broken or shrivelled kernels cost less. Season matters too — winter and Ramadan push demand and prices up. A "cheap" kilo that mixes grades is not a bargain; it is a different product.
Soaked badam — the daily habit, done right
Soaking is the most common way Pakistanis eat badam: soak a small handful (8–10 kernels) overnight, peel in the morning, eat plain or with milk. Soaked badam is easier to chew and digest, and peeling removes the brown skin that some people find bitter. Soak only what you will eat the next day — soaked badam does not keep. Keep the rest of the pack dry and airtight.
How to store badam
Badam goes rancid when its natural oils oxidise — heat, light and air are the enemies. Store in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and spices. In hot or humid weather, refrigerate the pack you are using and keep the rest sealed. Frozen badam keeps for months; bring it to room temperature before eating. If badam smells oily, sharp or paint-like, or tastes bitter, it is stale — throw it away.
How to check quality
Good badam kernels are plump, even in size and pale cream inside, with a clean nutty smell. Avoid packs with many broken pieces, dark spots, shrivelled kernels or a musty smell. Buy sealed packs that name the type (American, kagzi, mamra, gurbandi) — and check the pack weight in grams before you pay, because "1 pao" and "250g" are the same thing and some listings mix them.
Buying online
Order badam online from Khan Dry Fruits with cash on delivery across Pakistan. Delivery takes 2–5 days in most cities, and delivery is free on orders above Rs 5,000. Start with a 250g pack if you are trying a type for the first time; buy 1kg once you know which type suits you. Check the live price on the product page before you order.
FAQ — Badam price in Pakistan
What is the badam price in Pakistan in 2026? American Badam Giri costs Rs 1,100 (250g), Rs 2,200 (500g) and Rs 4,400 (1kg) at Khan Dry Fruits, checked 27 October 2026. A separate American Almond listing costs Rs 1,150, Rs 2,250 and Rs 4,400. Kagzi, mamra and gurbandi types are priced separately on the store.
What is badam called in English? Almond. "Badam" is the Urdu name; "badam giri" means almond kernels (shelled almonds).
Which badam is best — American, kagzi or mamra? For daily eating and soaking, American badam is the practical choice: uniform, mild and fairly priced. Kagzi suits people who like cracking in-shell nuts fresh. Mamra suits those who want a stronger, oilier kernel and don't mind paying more. There is no single "best" — match the type to your use.
How many badam should I eat daily? A small handful — about 8–10 kernels (roughly 30g) — is a sensible daily portion for most adults, soaked or dry. Badam is energy-dense, so portions matter more than the type.
Why is the 250g pack dearer per gram than the 1kg pack? Packing and handling cost the same whatever the size, so small packs always cost more per gram. The 250g pack is for freshness and trying a type; the 1kg pack is for regular use with proper storage.
Does badam price change in winter? Yes. Demand rises in winter and around Ramadan and weddings, and import costs move with the dollar rate. The price on the product page is the current price — this guide's prices were checked 27 October 2026.
