How to use
- 1Add a handful of mixed dry fruits to your breakfast cereal, oatmeal, or muesli for natural sweetness and nutrition.
- 2Snack on raisins or dried figs instead of biscuits or sweets - they satisfy sweet cravings with natural sugars and fibre.
- 3Soak raisins in water overnight and drink the water in the morning - a traditional home remedy for iron deficiency and constipation.
- 4Add dry fruits to rice puddings, halwa, ladoo, and traditional Indian sweets for flavour and nutrition.
- 5Use dry fruits as a pre-workout energy snack - the natural sugars provide quick energy while fibre provides sustained fuel.
Storage tips
- Store dry fruits in airtight containers - they can absorb moisture from the air and become sticky or mouldy.
- Keep away from humidity; if you live in a humid region, refrigerate in sealed bags.
- Raisins and dried figs last 6-12 months when stored properly in a cool, dark place.
- Never store dry fruits in the same container as fresh fruits - the moisture from fresh fruits will spoil the dry fruits.
- If dry fruits appear to have a white crystalline coating, that is just natural sugar - it is safe to eat.
Are these walnut kernels from Kashmir or imported?
+
Our walnut kernels are sourced from Kashmir (Kupwara and Baramulla) during the October-December harvest season. Kashmiri walnuts are thinner-skinned, more oil-rich and have a sweeter, less bitter kernel than imported Chilean or Chinese walnuts, which dominate most Indian retail shelves.
What is the difference between Akhrot Giri and whole walnuts?
+
Akhrot Giri means pre-shelled walnut kernels - ready to eat with no cracking needed. Whole walnuts (Akhrot Sabut) come with the hard shell intact. Giri is more convenient and cooks faster; whole walnuts last longer (the shell protects the oil from oxidation). If you use walnuts weekly, Giri is the better pick.
Why are walnuts called a brain food?
+
Walnuts are the only nut that is a significant source of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) - a plant-based omega-3 essential for brain function. A 30g serving gives you 2.5g of omega-3, comparable to eating salmon. Studies link regular walnut consumption to improved memory, cognitive performance and reduced brain inflammation.
How many walnut kernels should I eat per day?
+
Nutritionists recommend 7 walnut halves (about 30g) per day - this gives you 185 calories, 4.3g protein, 2g fibre and a full day's worth of omega-3 ALA. Eat them soaked on an empty stomach for better digestion, or add to your breakfast oatmeal, salad or yoghurt.
How do I know if walnut kernels have gone rancid?
+
Fresh walnuts taste mildly sweet and buttery. Rancid walnuts taste sharp, bitter or smell like oil paint - the omega-3 fats have oxidised. We pack in small-batch nitrogen-flushed pouches to prevent this, and we recommend refrigerating after opening to preserve freshness for up to 3 months.
