How We Source & Grade Our Black Raisins with Seed
With over 20 years in the dry fruits trade from Begum Bazar, Hyderabad, Dry Fruit Hub grades seeded black raisins on size, moisture, and skin texture. Smaller, shriveled, or unevenly dried batches are filtered out before packing — these are the batches that turn hard and lose flavour fastest. The Afghan-style seeded raisins in your 1kg pack are selected specifically for their larger size and soft bite, holding their texture well beyond the first few weeks after opening.
