Dry Fruits from Gilgit-Baltistan, Straight from Hunza Valley

or generations, the valleys of Gilgit-Baltistan have dried their harvest the same way,  laid out under the open mountain sun, untouched by sugar, preservatives, or shortcuts. This is where our dry fruits come from: not a warehouse, not a middleman’s stock, but small family orchards in Hunza and the surrounding valleys, where apricots, walnuts, mulberries, and almonds are still picked, cracked, and sun-dried by hand.

Hunza Foodways works directly with women farmers across Gilgit-Baltistan to bring these dry fruits to your doorstep, the same way they’ve always been made, just easier to order. Every batch is small, seasonal, and traceable back to the valley it came from, whether that’s the apricot orchards of Hunza, the walnut groves of Ghizer, or the mulberry trees that line the Karakoram foothills.

What makes Gilgit-Baltistan dry fruits different:

• No added sugar, no chemical drying: just sun, altitude, and time
• Women-led sourcing: every purchase supports farming households in Rahimabad Valley and beyond
• Small-batch, hand-sorted: no factory processing, no mixing of old and new stock
• Traceable origin: apricots from Hunza, walnuts from Ghizer, mulberries from the Hunza riverbelt

Popular picks from the region include our Organic Dried Apricots, Walnut Kernels (Akhrot), Kishmish (Raisins), Shahtoot (Dried Mulberries), and the traditional Kelawo, fruit and nuts dipped in raw honey and mulberry juice, a Hunza classic rarely found outside the valley.
