Iranian badam giri almonds ( 1kg pack ) original irani almond

About these almonds

Iranian badam giri — original Irani almonds, shelled and ready to use. Irani badam has been a fixture of Pakistani dry-fruit bazaars for generations, and this is the full 1kg pack for households that buy it by the kilo, with 500gm and 250gm options on this page.

Many buyers choose Irani badam out of long habit: it's the almond their parents bought, with a flavour profile Pakistani palates grew up on.

What's different about Iranian badam

• A long-standing bazaar favourite — familiar taste, trusted name.
• Ready-shelled kernels: no cracking, all usable badam.
• Mild, clean character that suits soaking and daily eating.
• The kilo pack serves heavy-use households and sharing between families.

Taste and texture

Clean almond kernels with a mild nutty crunch — suitable for soaking, snacking or cooking. Irani kernels are typically a touch smaller than American ones, with a gentle, rounded nuttiness. Soaked overnight they soften beautifully; eaten dry they have an easy, unassertive crunch that works for all-day snacking.

Judging the lot

Kernels should look uniform with minimal dust and broken bits. For soaking, pick clean raw kernels. Smell the pack — fresh smells mildly sweet and nutty; a stale or sharply oily odour means the lot is old, whatever the label says. Compare the same weight and grade across sellers before judging price.

Pack sizes

The 1kg is the economical choice for daily badam households. Prices move with import lots and season — confirm at checkout.

Storage

Airtight container, away from stove heat and sunlight. In peak summer or monsoon humidity, refrigerate — shelled kernels deserve it. Use a dry spoon; moisture shortens shelf life. See How to Store Dry Fruits.

How to use

Soak a small handful overnight and peel in the morning — the traditional daily badam. Beyond that: breakfast bowls, ground into kheer and sheer khurma, blended into badam milk, or eaten dry through the day. The mild flavour also roasts well with a pinch of salt for guests.

Price

Currently Rs 1,200 for 250gm, Rs 2,400 for 500gm and Rs 4,800 for 1kg. Irani badam traditionally sits between American and mamra on price — check the live price on this page.

Delivery

Delivered across Pakistan with cash on delivery on most orders. In Lahore, same-day or local pickup may be offered at checkout.

FAQ

Iranian vs American almond — which is better?

Neither is objectively better; it's preference. Irani kernels run slightly smaller with a traditional flavour Pakistani buyers know well; American kernels are larger and more uniform. Try both in 250gm and decide.

What does "original Irani" mean here?

It signals the Iranian almond grade as sold in Pakistani bazaars — as opposed to mislabelled lots. Judge the pack on the kernels, not just the name.

Are these good for overnight soaking?

Yes — clean raw kernels soak and peel well, which is how most Irani-badam households eat them.

How should I store a full kilo?

Keep the bulk sealed and decant a week's worth into a small jar. Refrigerate in summer; a kilo is a lot to lose to heat.

Is cash on delivery available?

Yes, on most orders across Pakistan.
