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. Free to every pincode we reach, with no minimum on the bill.
