Buy dry fruits online in Nadiad

Nadiad calls itself Saksharbhumi, the land of the literate, and its readers and writers have always met over tea and a plate of something sweet. Here is how the town’s calendar shapes what people buy.

Dakor and Sharad Purnima

On Sharad Purnima, crowds walk from Nadiad and beyond to the Ranchhodraiji temple at Dakor. At home, the same night is for doodh-pauva left out under the moon, with chopped Regular Badam, Pista Kernels and a pinch of Cardamom (Elaichi). Temple prasad through the rest of the year often uses Regular Dakh (Kishmis).

After the meal, mukhwas

No Kheda dinner ends without a small steel box going round the table. Satrangi Mukhwas is the cheerful choice for guests, while older members of the family stick to plain Madrasi Saunf. Wedding caterers in the district often set out a full mukhwas counter, and families now order the mix in advance to fill their own boxes at home.

Dates for winter mornings

Kheda winters are short but sharp in the early hours. Many homes eat two or three Kalmi Safawi Dates with warm milk before leaving for work. Keep dates in a closed box in the fridge if the pack will last more than a month. The dates collection lists every kind we pack.

Nadiad also has a long tradition of Gujarati literature, and its libraries and reading circles meet over tea in the evenings. A small plate of cashews and raisins is the usual companion for those meetings. At Santram Mandir, the full moon days draw large crowds, and many families come home from the darshan with a list of things to cook for relatives who have dropped in. Keeping a sealed stock of nuts in the cupboard saves a hurried trip to the market on those evenings.

A Nadiad order usually reaches you in 2–4 days by courier, weighed to the gram and sealed airtight. The courier also reaches Kapadvanj, Mahudha, Kheda and Dakor. Orders start at ₹1,000 and every order ships free. Payment is online only.
