PRODUCT DETAILS
Premium Afghani Mamra almonds — roasted in the shell. Mamra (Mamra badam) is the connoisseur's almond: smaller, curved, and richer in flavour than everyday California almonds. We source ours directly from Afghanistan and roast them in-shell to protect the kernel and deepen their signature buttery flavour. Crack, eat, and taste the difference.
What makes Mamra almonds special
Mamra is a distinct almond variety — not simply a grade of regular almonds. Traditionally grown in Afghanistan, Iran, and Kashmir, it's prized for its buttery richness, wrinkled curved shape, and deep, sweet taste. It is a traditional favourite in Afghan homes.
Roasted in-shell for freshness
Roasting the almonds while still in their shell shields the kernel, preserves the natural oils, and delivers a fresher, more aromatic nut than pre-shelled roasted almonds. Every order arrives ready to crack — a satisfying snack straight from the shell.
Purchase With Purpose
Every order supports Afghan growers and the families behind them. With Ghafori Foods you get authentic, traceable Afghan specialty foods — and you support the communities who produce them.
How to enjoy
- Crack and eat as a premium everyday snack
- Soak the kernels overnight and peel for a soft, delicate almond
- Add to trail mixes, desserts, and festive platters
Storage
Keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container; refrigerate for longer freshness. 100% natural, with no additives.

Mamra almonds are a premium almond variety native to Afghanistan, Iran, and Kashmir, valued for their buttery texture, curved shape, and rich, sweet flavour. They are a distinct variety from common California almonds.
Are these almonds roasted or raw?
They are roasted in the shell. In-shell roasting preserves freshness and brings out the almond's natural buttery taste while keeping the kernel protected.
