Nuts bring protein, fibre and heart-friendly fats: almonds for vitamin E, walnuts for omega-3, and budget-friendly peanuts for everyday protein. A small daily handful (about 30g) is the amount nutritionists recommend.
Alongside Pakistani classics, we import the world's best: Saudi dates, Iranian pistachios, Brazil nuts, macadamia, pecans and zafran — all with the same live pricing and COD.
Date prices vary hugely by variety: premium Ajwa from Madinah sits at the top, with Mabroom, Sukkari, Medjool and Pakistani Aseel offering options for every budget. Explore all khajoor varieties and pitted dates with today's prices live on each page.
Almond prices depend on type: American badam for everyday value, desi Gurbandi for oil-rich potency, and soft-shell Kagzi for in-shell freshness. Compare all types in our almonds collection.
Kaju is priced by size grade (W240, W320) and preparation — roasted-salted costs slightly more than plain raw kaju. See the full cashews collection for current rates on every grade.
Iranian salted pista leads the market for size and roast, while pista magaz (kernels) suits mithai, kheer and ice cream. Check live prices in the pistachios collection.
Chilgoza is Pakistan's most premium nut — hand-harvested from Bannu and Waziristan pine forests, which is why prices run high and move with each season's crop. Grades go by size, from small organic to export jumbo: see the chilgoza collection and pine nuts price range.
Choose in-shell Kaghzi akhrot (thin shell, Gilgit-grown, stays fresh longer) or ready-to-eat walnut kernels (giri) — kernels cost more per kg but have zero waste.
Real Sidr (beri) honey is Pakistan's most prized — thick, aromatic and never chemically processed. Our organic honey collection includes pure Sidr in 250g–1kg packs plus everyday multi-flower honey.
Pumpkin seeds are rich in magnesium and zinc — supporting sleep, immunity and men's health — which has made them Pakistan's fastest-growing healthy snack. Shop pumpkin seeds salted, in-shell or raw.
Chia and our desi tukh malanga (basil seeds) both swell in water, supporting hydration, fibre intake and weight management — tukh malanga is the time-tested local choice for summer sharbat. Browse all organic seeds including alsi, sesame and char magaz.
For daily health, nutritionists most often name almonds (vitamin E), walnuts (omega-3), anjeer (fibre and calcium) and khubani (iron) — rotate them through the week rather than eating one type only. Prunes are the digestion specialist.
Dry fruits help weight loss when they replace junk snacks: a measured 30g handful of almonds or roasted chana keeps you full for hours, and anjeer or prunes settle sweet cravings naturally. Portion control matters — they are calorie-dense by design.
Kids' favourites that parents approve: sweet kishmish, soft dates, peanuts and chopped almonds in milk or oatmeal — natural energy and minerals without factory candy. Whole nuts should be chopped for children under four.
The classic desi energy combos still work best: gur-chana before work, khajoor with milk after exercise, and winter Chakwal rewari or chikki with chai. For daily fuel, see dates and mixed dry fruits; for spice-shelf basics, our spices and murabba jaat.
Almonds, walnuts, chilgoza, dates and kishmish lead Pakistani households — chilgoza from Bannu and Kaghzi akhrot from Gilgit are the local pride picks.
Almonds (vitamin E), walnuts (omega-3), anjeer (fibre) and khubani (iron) top the list — a mixed 30g daily handful beats any single type.
Almond rates change with season and imports — current prices for American, Gurbandi and Kagzi badam are shown live on each product page in our almonds collection.
Chilgoza is Pakistan's costliest nut; the rate depends on grade and the year's crop. Live prices for every grade are on the chilgoza collection pages.
Ajwa for sunnah significance, Mabroom and Sukkari for soft daily iftar, and budget-friendly Aseel for the whole month — many families keep two varieties.
Kishmish, soft dates, peanuts and chopped almonds — natural sweetness and minerals kids actually enjoy. Chop whole nuts for under-4s.
Yes — Saudi dates, Iranian pistachios, Brazil nuts, macadamia and pecans are all available at Khan Dry Fruits with nationwide delivery.
Yes — COD is available across Pakistan, with delivery in 1–3 working days and 15-day easy returns.

Chilgoza, in-shell walnuts, Parachinar peanuts, gond panjiri and rewari — winter is dry fruit season in Pakistan.
About 30g (a small handful) daily is the widely recommended amount — enough for the benefits without excess calories.
Yes, as a snack replacement — protein and fibre keep you full, but stick to measured portions as they are calorie-dense.

Khan Dry Fruits delivers to every Pakistani city with COD — order online and receive doorstep delivery in 1–3 days.
Fresh nuts are crisp, aromatic and unbroken; staleness shows as softness, oil smell or dull colour. We rotate stock fast and accept 15-day returns.
Almonds — called badam in Urdu — are the most purchased nut in Pakistan and among the world's most studied superfoods. Whether you are buying for daily snacking, cooking, gifting, or wholesale, this guide covers every variety available at Khan Dry Fruits, what sets each one apart, honest pricing guidance, and how to get the most from every handful.
Not all almonds are the same nut. Origin, shell type, oil content and curing method each change the flavour, texture, nutrition and price significantly. Here is every variety you will find in the Pakistani market and what makes each worth knowing about.
Badam prices in Pakistan move with four main factors: the California and Afghan harvest seasons (typically July–October), the USD/PKR exchange rate, import duty changes, and local demand peaks around Ramadan and Eid. As a result, no single fixed rate stays accurate for long — always check the live price on each product page in our almonds collection.
| Almond Type | Origin | Price Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| California / American | USA | Mid-range | Daily snacking, cooking |
| Gurbandi | Afghanistan | Mid–premium | Soaking, health use |
| Mamra | Iran / Afghanistan | Premium | Brain health, gifting |
| Kagzi (local) | Gilgit-Baltistan | Seasonal / variable | In-shell snacking, freshness |
| Jumbo Grade | USA / Spain | Premium | Gift boxes, hampers |
| Organic Certified | USA / Europe | Premium+ | Health-conscious buyers |
| Roasted / Salted | Various | Mid-range | Snacking, parties |

A 28g serving of raw almonds (roughly 23 kernels) provides approximately 6g of protein, 14g of healthy fats (mostly monounsaturated), 3.5g of fibre, 37% of the daily recommended vitamin E intake, and meaningful amounts of magnesium, manganese and riboflavin. This nutritional density is why almonds consistently appear at the top of evidence-based healthy eating recommendations.
Almonds are also one of the best plant-based sources of calcium, making them valuable for people who consume limited dairy. For a deeper look at almond nutritional data, the USDA FoodData Central database provides full lab-verified nutrient profiles.
Almonds contain riboflavin (vitamin B2) and L-carnitine, two nutrients linked to neurological function and reduced cognitive decline. This is the scientific basis for the traditional South Asian practice of soaking 5–7 almonds overnight and eating them each morning. Mamra and Gurbandi varieties are most often cited for this purpose because of their higher oil content.
The monounsaturated fats in almonds help maintain healthy LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while supporting HDL (good) cholesterol — a combination associated with lower cardiovascular risk. Research published by the American Heart Association has highlighted nuts including almonds as part of a heart-protective diet.
Vitamin E is one of the most potent fat-soluble antioxidants for skin cell protection against UV damage and oxidative stress. The same vitamin E in raw almonds supports healthy hair growth and scalp condition when consumed regularly. Almond oil — a byproduct of pressing kernels — is widely used topically in Pakistan for the same reason.
Almonds have a low glycaemic index and slow gastric emptying, which helps reduce blood sugar spikes after meals. Several clinical studies have shown that adding almonds to a meal reduces the post-meal glucose response — particularly relevant for people managing or preventing type 2 diabetes.
Almonds provide calcium, phosphorus and magnesium — three minerals essential for bone density. A daily handful contributes meaningfully to the recommended intake, especially for people who are lactose-intolerant or following a dairy-free diet.
Despite being calorie-dense, almonds support satiety through their combination of protein, fat and fibre. Studies consistently show that people who include a measured portion of almonds in their diet do not gain the weight their calorie content would suggest, because satiety signals reduce overall food intake through the day. The key is measured portions — around 20–25 kernels (28–30g) per day.
Almonds are a good source of dietary fibre, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria and supports regular digestion. Soaked almonds are easier to digest than raw ones — soaking breaks down phytic acid, which can otherwise inhibit mineral absorption.
California or American almonds are the practical daily choice — widely available, consistently sized, affordable per kg and mild enough for children and adults alike. If budget allows, upgrade to Gurbandi for soaking or Mamra for a medicinal daily supplement. Compare options in the almonds collection.
Almond kernels (magaz) — especially blanched — are the standard for Pakistani mithai, halwa, kheer, biryani garnish and sheer khurma. For cakes, pastries and nut butters, whole American kernels or almond flour work best. Shop almond kernels and sliced varieties in our almonds collection.
Jumbo-grade or premium imported almonds presented in a wooden or box-set gift pack are the standard for weddings, Eid, and corporate gifting. Pair them with pistachios, cashews and dates for a balanced gift hamper. Explore our ready-made dry fruit gift boxes or arrange a custom order on WhatsApp.
Mamra almonds are consistently the top recommendation for brain health — their exceptionally high oil content delivers concentrated vitamin E, healthy fats and the traditional nutrients associated with memory and focus. Gurbandi almonds are a close, slightly more affordable alternative. Both are best consumed soaked.
Whole in-shell almonds stay freshest longest — the shell is the best packaging nature invented. Shelled kernels are more convenient but begin oxidising as soon as the shell is removed. If buying kernels, choose vacuum-packed options and use within the recommended period. For bulk purchases, whole almonds are the better value.
Commercial almonds are graded by size, shape uniformity, moisture content and defect rate. Understanding grades helps you compare products honestly:
| Grade | Size | Common Use |
|---|---|---|
| Extra Jumbo / Super Jumbo | 18mm+ | Premium gifting, retail display |
| Jumbo | 16–18mm | Gift boxes, premium snacking |
| Large / Select | 14–16mm | Everyday snacking, corporate orders |
| Standard / Regular | 12–14mm | Cooking, mithai, wholesale |
| Broken / Pieces | Mixed | Almond milk, flour, garnish |
At Khan Dry Fruits, each listing states the grade clearly — you see what you are paying for before ordering.
Almonds contain natural oils that turn rancid when exposed to heat, light and moisture. Follow these storage steps to keep them fresh for months:
Almonds are one of the most versatile ingredients in the Pakistani kitchen. Common uses include:
In Pakistan, presenting almonds as a gift carries a cultural weight that goes beyond the nut itself — it signals care, quality and tradition. The three most common gifting occasions are Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha and weddings (valima, mehndi and baraat functions).
Khan Dry Fruits offers curated dry fruit gift boxes that typically combine jumbo almonds with pistachios, cashews, walnuts and premium Saudi dates in presentation-grade wooden or decorated boxes. Corporate gift orders with custom branding are arranged via WhatsApp. Delivery goes directly to the recipient anywhere in Pakistan with 1–3 day shipping.
Businesses including mithai shops, bakeries, restaurants, hotels and corporate procurement teams regularly order almonds in bulk from Khan Dry Fruits. Bulk pricing is available on 5kg, 10kg and larger quantities. If you are a wholesaler, distributor or almond supplier looking for consistent stock at competitive rates, contact us on WhatsApp with your quantity and preferred variety — we will quote the best bulk price for the current crop. See our full almonds collection or browse the price list for current per-kg rates.
The simplest way to build an almond habit: 20–25 kernels (about 28–30g) every morning, either soaked overnight or eaten raw. This single change adds roughly 6g of protein, 3.5g of fibre and a meaningful daily dose of vitamin E and magnesium — nutrients that most Pakistani diets are deficient in. Pair almonds with walnuts for omega-3 and dates for natural sugar and iron, and you have a complete morning supplement from whole foods alone.
For children, crush or finely slice almonds into warm milk with a pinch of cardamom — a version of badam doodh that most children enjoy willingly. For the elderly, soaked almonds are the easiest on digestion and joint comfort. Explore all nut options in our mixed dry fruits range for convenient daily variety.
For everyday eating, California or American almonds offer the best balance of quality and price. For health-focused daily use (especially soaked), Gurbandi almonds are the most recommended. For gifting or a medicinal supplement, Mamra almonds are considered the premium choice. For seasonal freshness, Kagzi almonds from Gilgit-Baltistan are unmatched when in-season. Browse all options in the almonds collection.
Both are small, oil-rich almonds from Central Asia and both are considered superior to California almonds for medicinal purposes. Gurbandi almonds are round and smooth, grown mainly in Afghanistan's Gurbandh Valley. Mamra almonds are wrinkled and irregular in shape, grown in Iran and parts of Afghanistan. Mamra generally have a slightly higher oil content and command a higher price; Gurbandi are more widely available and slightly more affordable. Both are best consumed soaked overnight.
Almond prices change with import rates, the dollar and harvest seasons, so no static figure stays accurate. Live per-kg prices for American, Gurbandi, Mamra and Kagzi almonds are updated on each product page in our almonds collection. Bulk pricing for 5kg+ orders is available on request via WhatsApp.
The widely cited recommendation is 20–25 kernels (approximately 28–30g) per day — enough to deliver meaningful nutrition without excess calories. This is consistent with guidance from major nutrition bodies. Eating more is not harmful for most people, but almonds are calorie-dense, so portions matter if you are managing weight.
Soaking (8–12 hours in plain water) is recommended for best results: it neutralises phytic acid, which can inhibit mineral absorption; the skin peels away easily, improving digestibility; and the texture becomes softer and creamier. Traditional South Asian health practice strongly favours soaked almonds, particularly Gurbandi and Mamra varieties. Raw or roasted almonds are also nutritious — soaking is a preference, not a strict requirement.
Mamra almonds are traditionally considered the best for brain health — their high oil content provides concentrated riboflavin, L-carnitine and vitamin E, all linked to neurological function. Gurbandi almonds are a close alternative. Consume them soaked, on an empty stomach in the morning, for maximum absorption. This practice has roots in both Ayurvedic and Unani medicine and aligns with modern nutritional understanding.
Any raw or soaked almond provides vitamin E, the primary skin-protective nutrient in almonds. Gurbandi and Mamra varieties, with higher oil content, are traditionally preferred for skin and hair benefits. For topical use, cold-pressed almond oil (roghan badam) is separately available and widely used in Pakistan for hair and baby massage.
Yes, when used to replace processed snacks. Almonds' protein, fat and fibre combination produces strong satiety signals — people who eat a measured almond portion mid-morning typically eat fewer calories at lunch. The key is portion control (around 28–30g) since almonds contain roughly 580 kcal per 100g. They support weight management; they do not work as a standalone weight-loss food.
Yes — almonds have a very low glycaemic index and have been shown in several studies to reduce post-meal blood sugar response when consumed with or before a meal. The fibre and healthy fat slow glucose absorption. People managing diabetes should still keep portions measured (20–25 kernels) and consult their doctor regarding individual dietary plans.
Raw almonds are unprocessed — maximum enzyme activity, vitamin E and flavour neutrality. Best for soaking, making almond milk or flour, and health-focused daily use. Roasted almonds are heated at controlled temperatures, which deepens the nutty flavour significantly and makes them ideal for direct snacking, but does reduce some heat-sensitive vitamins. Dry-roasted (no oil) is healthier than oil-roasted.
Yes — almonds are an excellent source of protein, calcium and healthy fats for children. For children under 4, always chop, slice or blend almonds finely to prevent choking. From age 4 upward, whole soaked almonds or lightly crushed almonds in warm milk with cardamom (badam doodh) are a traditional and nutritionally sound option. Avoid heavily salted varieties for young children.
Badam doodh is a traditional Pakistani and South Asian warm drink made by blending soaked, peeled almonds with warm full-fat milk, sugar (or honey), cardamom and optionally saffron. The ratio is typically 8–10 almonds per glass of milk. It is consumed as a morning supplement, pre-exam drink for students, and winter warming tonic. Gurbandi or Mamra almonds give the richest flavour.
Blanched almond kernels (skin removed) are the standard for Pakistani mithai, halwa and desserts — the white colour and clean appearance are preferred in sweets. Sliced almonds are used for garnishing biryani, sheer khurma and korma. For almond barfi specifically, freshly ground almond powder from raw kernels gives the best texture.
Khan Dry Fruits delivers all almond varieties — American, Gurbandi, Mamra, Kagzi, organic, roasted and gift-grade jumbo — to every Pakistani city with Cash on Delivery. Orders arrive within 1–3 working days. Visit the almonds collection to choose your variety and pack size.
Fresh almonds have a clean, mild, slightly sweet aroma. Stale almonds smell bitter or rancid — this is oxidised oil and signals the fats have broken down. Good almonds are firm to bite, not soft or rubbery. The skin should be intact, not cracked or discoloured. At Khan Dry Fruits, we rotate stock regularly and accept 15-day returns on quality issues.
They serve different purposes. Kagzi almonds from Gilgit-Baltistan are thin-shelled, locally grown and prized for their freshness when in season — the in-shell snacking experience is unmatched. American almonds are larger, more uniform, available year-round and better suited to cooking, slicing and bulk daily use. Most Pakistani households keep both: Kagzi for seasonal enjoyment, American for everyday nutrition.
No — the research consistently shows the opposite. The monounsaturated fats in almonds are associated with reduced LDL (bad) cholesterol. Multiple peer-reviewed studies have found that regular almond consumption improves the LDL/HDL ratio. Almonds are included in heart-healthy dietary recommendations by major cardiology organisations.
Almonds are considered a beneficial food during pregnancy — they provide folate (important for fetal development), calcium, iron and healthy fats. Soaked almonds are the preferred form for easier digestion. As with any dietary change during pregnancy, moderate portions are recommended and individual medical advice should be followed.
Properly stored almonds last: 3–4 months at room temperature in an airtight container; 12 months in the refrigerator; and up to 24 months in the freezer. Roasted almonds have a shorter shelf life than raw ones (typically 2–3 months at room temperature) because roasting makes the oils more susceptible to oxidation. Always check for rancid smell before eating stored almonds.
Yes — Khan Dry Fruits supplies bulk almonds to mithai shops, bakeries, restaurants, corporate buyers and distributors across Pakistan. Bulk pricing is available on 5kg, 10kg and larger quantities. Contact us on WhatsApp with your variety choice and quantity for a direct quote. The almonds collection also lists available pack sizes online.
Jumbo-grade American almonds presented in premium packaging are the standard gifting choice — their size is visually impressive and the taste is universally liked. For more exclusive gifting, Mamra almonds are a sophisticated choice that recipients who know dry fruits will genuinely appreciate. Our gift boxes combine premium almonds with other top-grade nuts and Saudi dates in presentation-ready packaging.
Almond kernels (called badam magaz or almond giri) are shelled almonds with the outer brown skin either intact (natural) or removed (blanched). They are ready to use in cooking without any shelling — essential for mithai, halwa, garnishing and baking. Available in our almonds collection in natural and blanched varieties.
Organic almonds are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers and are certified to international standards. The nutritional profile is broadly similar to conventional almonds, but buyers choose organic for two reasons: reduced pesticide residue exposure, and supporting sustainable farming practices. For families feeding young children or individuals with chemical sensitivities, the premium is generally considered worthwhile. Browse certified organic almonds in our collection.
Each nut serves a different nutritional role. Almonds lead for vitamin E, calcium and skin health. Walnuts are unmatched for omega-3 fatty acids and brain inflammation support. Cashews are highest in zinc and iron, making them good for immunity. For the most complete daily nutrition, rotate all three throughout the week — or choose our mixed dry fruits pack for convenient variety.
Almond flour is finely ground blanched almond kernels — the base for keto baking, gluten-free recipes, French macarons and Pakistani almond barfi. It can be made at home by blending blanched almond kernels in a dry grinder. Check the almonds collection for available kernel grades suitable for home grinding.
Raw, unsalted American or California almonds are ideal for almond milk — their mild flavour produces a clean, neutral milk that works in chai, smoothies and cereal. Soak 1 cup overnight, blend with 3–4 cups of water, and strain through a muslin cloth or nut-milk bag. Gurbandi almonds produce a richer, slightly more flavourful milk. Avoid roasted or salted varieties for milk-making.
