The Hunza Valley has a near-legendary reputation for its fruits and nuts. Tucked between the peaks of the Karakoram, its orchards produce some of the most flavourful dry fruits in the world. Here is a guide to what makes them special.
The fruits
Hunza is best known for its apricots, sun-dried whole to a natural sweetness. Alongside them you will find delicate white mulberries, sweet-tart cherries, figs, and dried apple — all dried without added sugar.
The nuts
The valley is also rich in almonds and walnuts, plus apricot kernels that are a snack in their own right.
Why Hunza dry fruits are so prized
- Grown in clean mountain air and glacial water
- Traditionally sun-dried, not processed in factories
- No added sugar, colour, or preservatives
- Naturally concentrated flavour and nutrients
How to store them
Keep dry fruits in an airtight container away from heat and direct sunlight. Stored well, they stay fresh for months.
