Rolled Apricots — Chapaneemak

Chapaneemak — known across Afghanistan and Central Asia as rolled apricots — is one of the most beloved and distinctive traditional Afghan snacks. Made from whole apricots that are pitted, flattened, and sun-dried into thin, intensely flavoured sheets, Chapaneemak delivers a uniquely tangy-sweet apricot experience unlike anything available in mainstream Canadian grocery stores.

This centuries-old Afghan delicacy requires no refrigeration, contains no added sugar or preservatives, and is made using traditional sun-drying methods passed down through generations. It is naturally rich in Vitamin C, iron, potassium, and dietary fibre — a wholesome, portable snack rooted in Afghan agricultural heritage.

Deeply nostalgic for Afghan, Pakistani, and Central Asian communities across Canada, and a genuinely exciting discovery for anyone encountering it for the first time. At Ghafori Foods we source our Chapaneemak directly from Afghanistan, ensuring authenticity, freshness, and the true flavour of this remarkable traditional food.
