Afghan green raisins — known as kishmish in Dari and Farsi — are one of Afghanistan’s most prized agricultural exports and a staple of South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine for centuries. Unlike conventional brown raisins which are dried with the aid of heat or chemicals, authentic Afghan green raisins are shade-dried using traditional methods that preserve their distinctive pale green colour, delicate sweetness, and unique flavour profile.Our green raisins are sourced directly from Afghanistan’s Kandahar province — the heartland of Afghan raisin production — where the unique climate and mineral-rich soil produce raisins with a flavour complexity unmatched by any other variety. They are naturally sweet with subtle floral and fruity notes, and a softer, more delicate texture than conventional raisins. Afghan green raisins are rich in natural sugars for quick energy, iron for blood health, potassium for heart function, and antioxidants that support overall wellness. They are delicious on their own, mixed into trail mixes, stirred into rice dishes, used in baking, or paired with nuts as a traditional Afghan snack. Available in retail and wholesale quantities with delivery across Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, Vaughan and Durham Region.
