What does “unsulphured” mean?
Many commercial dried apricots are treated with sulphur dioxide to keep a bright orange colour. Unsulphured apricots skip that step, so they dry to a darker amber-brown with a deeper, caramel-like flavour.

Keep dried fruit sealed in a cool, dry place and move it to the fridge in warm weather. Orders over $89 ship free across Canada (up to 10kg). For 3kg to 10kg bags, dry-fruit shops and caterers can apply for wholesale pricing.

Kishmish is the Dari and Persian word for raisins, also used in Hindi and Urdu, and usually refers to green raisins. Ours are shade-dried green raisins from Kandahar, Afghanistan.
