Product Details

Afghani green raisins seedless are a premium variety of dried grapes renowned for their exceptional sweetness and unique green hue. These raisins are carefully sourced from the vineyards of Afghanistan, a region known for its ideal climate and fertile soil, which contribute to the raisins' superior flavor and texture.

The drying process for Afghani green raisins is meticulous, involving sun-drying or controlled drying methods that preserve their vibrant green color and natural sugars. Unlike many other raisins, Afghani green raisins are seedless, making them convenient for snacking and versatile in cooking. The absence of seeds also ensures a smoother texture and enhances the overall eating experience.

Nutritionally, Afghani green raisins are a powerhouse of health benefits. They are rich in dietary fiber, which supports healthy digestion and helps maintain a feeling of fullness. These raisins are also an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, iron, potassium, and calcium. Their natural sweetness provides a healthier alternative to refined sugars, while antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids help combat oxidative stress and support overall well-being.

In culinary applications, Afghani green raisins are highly versatile. They can be enjoyed as a wholesome snack, added to salads for a burst of sweetness, or incorporated into baked goods like muffins and bread. Their distinct color and flavor also make them an attractive addition to trail mixes, granola bars, and yogurt.

Dry Fruit Laddoos


Main Ingredients

For Dry Fruit Laddoos:

  • 1/2 cup Afghani Green Raisins (seedless)
  • 1 cup Dates (seedless, roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup Almonds
  • 1/2 cup Cashews
  • 1/4 cup Walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons Pistachios
  • 1 tablespoon Chia seeds or Flax seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Desiccated coconut (plus more for rolling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cardamom powder
  • 1 tablespoon Ghee (optional, for binding and richness)

Instruction

Step 1 - Dry Roast the Nuts

  • In a pan, dry roast the almonds, cashews, walnuts, pistachios, and chia/flax seeds (if using) on low heat for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden and aromatic. Let them cool.

Step 2 - Blend the Dry Fruits

  • In a food processor or mixer, pulse the roasted nuts into a coarse mixture. Don’t grind too fine — a little crunch adds texture.

  • Add the chopped dates and Afghani green raisins. Blend again until everything combines into a sticky, slightly chunky dough.

  • Add ghee and cardamom powder. Mix or blend again briefly to help bind the mixture together.

Step 3: Shape the Laddoos

  • Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized laddoos using your palms.

  • If desired, roll each laddoo in desiccated coconut for a festive look.

Step 4: Serve or Store

  • Serving Suggestions: Serve as a wholesome dessert, mid-day energy bite, or as part of a festive sweet platter.

  • Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 10 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.

Tips for Perfect Laddoos

  • Natural Sweetness: Dates and Afghani green raisins provide enough sweetness—no need for added sugar or jaggery.

  • Customize: Add or swap in figs, apricots, or sunflower seeds for variation.

  • Binding Tip: If the mixture feels dry, add a teaspoon more of ghee or a splash of warm water.
