Found inside apricot pits, this super-seed resembles a small almond. Our sweet apricot kernels come from Bamyan and are a good source of plant-based protein, making them great for snacking and adding to salads and baked goods.
Unlike bitter varieties, Ziba’s sweet apricot kernels are perfectly safe for consumption and have the same amygdalin levels as almonds.
Ziba dry roasts (without oil), enhancing flavor while keeping them a healthy snack.

Our sweet apricot kernels are cultivated in two districts of Bamyan: Sayghan and Kahmard. In August, the fresh apricots dry on trees and are split open in September to collect the sweet apricot kernels. This produces sweet apricot kernels with a clean, crisp crunch and delicate sweetness reminiscent of marzipan, enhanced by a touch of Afghan salt and the warmth from light roasting.
By working directly with family farms and village cooperatives to source true heirloom fruit and nut varieties, Ziba presents only the highest-quality agricultural products, many of which are grown wild.
