Types of Khubani

Afghani Apricot

Afghani apricots are sun-dried with a deep, natural flavour and a pleasant balance of sweet and tangy. They are the classic choice for snacking and for traditional desserts.

Turkish Dried Apricot

Turkish dried apricots are plump, soft and bright orange, with a juicy, honey-like sweetness. They are easy to eat straight from the pack and look great on dessert and gift platters.

Gol Khormani and Fresh Tasting Dried Apricots

Gol Khormani are small, round whole apricots and our most affordable khubani, ideal for soaking and cooking. Fresh Tasting Dried Apricots are soft and naturally sweet for everyday snacking, baking and cooking.

Apricot Sticks (Chapa Namak)

Apricot sticks (chapa namak) are a crunchy, tangy and lightly salted snack, popular as a chatpata treat between meals.

Aloo bukhara (dried black plums) are not apricots, but they sit well alongside them. Their sweet and sour taste is used in pulao, chutneys and qorma.

Soaked Khubani (Overnight Apricots)

Soaking makes dried apricots softer and easier to eat. Wash 3 to 4 apricots, soak them in a glass of water overnight, and eat them in the morning. You can drink the soaking water too. Soaked khubani are also the first step for qubani ka meetha: soak, then simmer with sugar until soft and thick.

How to Use Khubani

• Desserts: qubani ka meetha, sheer khurma, custard and trifle.
• Rice and curries: add to pulao, biryani and sweet-sour qorma.
• Breakfast: chop into oats, cereal and yoghurt.
• Baking: use in cakes, muffins and cookies.
• Snacks: mix with almonds and walnuts for a winter dry fruit mix.

Health Benefits of Dried Apricots

Dried apricots provide fibre, potassium, iron and beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

• Digestion: fibre helps keep digestion regular.
• Eyes and skin: beta-carotene (vitamin A) supports healthy eyes and skin.
• Iron and potassium: apricots add iron and potassium to the diet.
• Quick energy: natural fruit sugars make khubani a good snack between meals.

Dried apricots are high in natural sugar, so a few at a time is enough. People with diabetes should check with their doctor.

How to Store Dried Apricots

Keep khubani in an airtight jar in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. In hot and humid weather, store them in the fridge to keep them soft and stop them from drying out. Soaked apricots should be kept in the fridge and eaten within a day or two.
