Mamra almond badam giri ( 250gm pack )

About mamra

Mamra badam giri — the almond connoisseurs ask for by name. These are the smaller, denser kernels traditionally prized in Pakistani and Iranian households, sold here in a 250gm pack (with 500gm and 1kg options on this page). If you've only ever eaten standard American almonds, mamra is a noticeable step up in character.

Why mamra costs more

• Denser, oil-richer kernels than everyday California grades — you taste the difference.
• Smaller harvests and careful sorting keep supply limited.
• The traditional pick for overnight soaking in many households.
• A little goes a long way; the 250gm pack is a proper introduction.

Taste and texture

Mamra-style almonds are typically firmer and oil-richer than everyday California grades. The kernel has real bite — dense and substantial rather than light and crisp — with a deep, creamy nuttiness that lingers. Soaked overnight, they turn luxuriously soft while holding their shape.

Spotting the real thing

Mamra kernels run smaller and often more wrinkled than American almonds; that's normal, not a defect. What matters: uniform size within the pack, minimal broken bits, and a clean, sweet smell — never stale or sharply oily. For soaking, insist on clean raw kernels.

Storage

Airtight container, away from heat and sunlight. Mamra's higher oil content is its virtue and its vulnerability — in summer or monsoon, refrigerate. Dry spoon only. See How to Store Dry Fruits.

How to use

Soak a small handful overnight and peel in the morning — the traditional way to enjoy mamra. Eaten dry, they're a firmer, more satisfying chew than standard almonds. Ground, they enrich kheer, sheer khurma and homemade badam mixes.

Price

Currently Rs 1,650 for 250gm, Rs 3,300 for 500gm and Rs 6,600 for 1kg. The premium over American almonds reflects the denser kernel and tighter supply.

Delivery

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

FAQ

Mamra vs American almond — what's the actual difference?

Mamra kernels are smaller, denser and oil-richer, with a firmer bite and deeper flavour. American almonds are larger, lighter and milder — the everyday grade.

Why are mamra kernels wrinkled?

That's their natural shape, not damage. Smooth, plump uniformity is an American-almond trait; mamra is prized for density, not looks.

What's the best way to eat mamra?

Soaked overnight and peeled — the classic preparation. Dry, they're a firmer chew for people who find standard almonds too light.

Is 250gm enough to try it?

Yes — enough for a week or more of daily soaking, which is plenty to decide if mamra is worth the premium for you.

How should I store them in summer?

Refrigerate. Their higher oil content means they deserve the fridge more than standard almonds do.
