Black Kismis - Seedless (Kali Dakh)
Everything on the packet, and the questions people ask before they buy from the Dakh / Kishmish / Raisin shelf.
About this product
Kali dakh is the seedless black raisin: black grapes dried whole until they turn dark, soft and chewy. You will also hear it called kali kishmish, black kismis or black dry grapes. Ours are seedless, so they go straight from the pack into a bowl of milk, a dessert or a lunchbox without any picking.
What kali dakh tastes like
Deeper and a little tangier than the golden kishmish, with a firm, chewy bite that softens nicely after soaking. They are sorted for an even size and a clean dark colour, and packed airtight so they stay moist instead of drying hard in the pack.
How people use black raisins
- Soaked overnight: 8–10 raisins in half a cup of water, eaten in the morning with the water. This is the most common way in Indian homes.
- As they are: a handful as a sweet snack in place of toffee or biscuits.
- In cooking: kheer, halwa, sheera, pulao, biryani, chutneys and cakes.
- With breakfast: over oats, poha, muesli or curd.
Black raisins and nutrition
Like all raisins, black raisins are a concentrated fruit: about 300 kcal per 100 g, mostly natural fruit sugar, with some fibre, potassium and iron. A small handful is a sensible daily amount. If you are diabetic or managing your sugar intake, ask your doctor how many suit you. For small children, soak and chop them.
Kali dakh, kishmish, munakka and prunes
| Name | What it is | Taste |
|---|---|---|
| Kali dakh (black raisins) | Dried black grapes, seedless | Deep, sweet, a little tangy |
| Kishmish | Dried green grapes, light golden | Mild and sweet |
| Munakka | Large dried grapes, traditionally with seeds | Rich and very sweet |
| Prunes | Dried plums, not grapes | Soft, sweet-sour |
Prunes and black raisins look alike in a bowl, but prunes are dried plums and black raisins are dried grapes. Many people who want a dark, soft dried fruit to soak overnight pick kali dakh.
Storing
Keep the pack closed in a cool, dry cupboard and use within a few months. In hot, humid weather keep them in an airtight jar in the fridge. They stay soft and will not stick together.

Questions people ask
How is kali dakh different from ordinary kishmish?
Kali dakh is a black seedless raisin, more acidic and less sweet than golden kishmish. It suits chutneys and anyone who finds golden kishmish too sweet.
How long does it stay fresh?
Six months from packing, kept closed in a cool, dry place. Once opened, reseal the packet or move it to an airtight jar — no fridge needed.
How much should I have in a day?
A small handful — about 30 g — is the amount most dietitians suggest. Soaked overnight for almonds and figs, as they are for everything else.

How this packet reaches you
- Brought in from where it grows Badam from Californian and mamra lots, khajur from Iran, anjeer from Afghanistan, akhrot from Kashmir — imported lot by lot, in season, and opened here rather than bought ready-packed.
- Graded at our own table Every lot is opened and sorted before it goes into a bin. Broken pieces, undersized kernels and anything that has travelled badly come out at this step, not after you have paid for them.
- Weighed to your order Nothing sits pre-packed on a shelf waiting for a buyer. Your weight is put on the scale after you order it, which is why the packet you open smells like the bin it came from.
- Sealed and sent Air-tight, boxed, and handed to the courier within three working days of your order — and cancellable right up until it goes. Orders start at ₹1,000 and ship free to every pincode we reach, from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
