Afghan Dried Fruit

Afghanistan boasts a vast array of high-quality, organic, and highly sought-after dried fruits. The selection of Afghan dried fruits includes fruits such as raisins, apricots, figs, cherries, prunes, dates, and mulberries. In the country, the process of drying fruits is a family business that has been passed down from one generation to another for many years. People typically dry their fruit in an entirely natural way either in the sun or, as it is the case with certain varieties of grapes, in unique 'raisin rooms' known as khasmish khana.

Considered a key producer and supplier of various dried fruits in the world, Afghanistan exports its dry fruit produce to numerous countries around the world. Some of its most renowned dried fruit products include yellow figs, dried apricots such as the Shakepara and Ameri varieties, and Shundakhani raisins.
