Description
About the Product
Mamra Almonds, also called Mamra Badam, are one of the most sought-after almond varieties in South Asia, traditionally grown across Afghanistan, Iran and the Kashmir valley. QandariMeewa’s Mamra Almonds are sourced with an emphasis on authenticity – smaller, irregularly shaped kernels with a natural light-brown to golden skin, distinct from the large, uniform, machine-sorted almonds most commonly found in supermarkets.
Why Choose QandariMeewa
We hand-select each batch of Mamra Almonds for consistent quality and freshness, and pack them in resealable pouches to protect their natural oils from air and moisture. As a Delhi-based business with direct ties to the Afghan dry fruit trade, we focus on sourcing transparency.
Taste & Texture
Mamra Almonds have a noticeably richer, more buttery flavour than common almonds, owing to their higher natural oil content. Their texture is denser and slightly chewier when fresh, with a rough, matte, non-uniform surface – a natural sign of authenticity rather than a defect.
How to Use
Commonly eaten as a snack, on their own or soaked overnight in water and peeled the next morning. Also works well chopped into desserts, halwas, badam doodh, or homemade trail mixes.
Storage Instructions
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is recommended for longer freshness due to their higher oil content.
