Looking to buy dried figs but not sure how to pick the best ones? Whether you're shopping online or at a local store, identifying premium quality Anjeer (also known as dried figs) is the key to enjoying its full nutritional and taste benefits. Here's your simple guide to spotting the best anjeer before you buy!
✅ Look for Natural Color and Texture
High-quality anjeer should have a light brown to golden-beige color. Avoid figs that are too dark(black) or appear overly shiny—they may have been artificially polished or over-dried. The surface should look slightly wrinkled but not too hard or brittle.
Pro Tip: If it feels leathery yet soft when pressed, it's a sign of freshness!
✅ Check for Size and Thickness
Premium anjeer is usually large, thick, and evenly sized. Thin and flat figs may have dried out too much or lacked pulp when harvested.
At Nutkhut Delight, we carefully select thick, juicy Anjeer that retains its natural sweetness and soft bite.
✅ Watch Out for White Crystals - They’re Good!
Many people mistake the white powdery coating on Anjeer as fungus or added sugar. But in most cases, these are natural fruit sugars crystallizing on the surface—a sign of good ripeness and quality!
However, avoid figs with black spots, mold, or unpleasant odor—those are red flags.
✅ Soft and Supple, Not Too Hard
Good Anjeer should be soft, pliable, and chewy. If it’s too sticky, it may have high moisture content and could spoil faster. If it’s too hard, it may be stale or over-dried.
Always go for naturally sun-dried figs that strike the right balance between softness and dryness.
✅ Read the Label - Know What You’re Buying
Always read the packaging or product description. Make sure the Anjeer is:
- ✅ 100% Natural
- ❌ No added sugar
- ❌ No preservatives
- ❌ No artificial colors or flavors
Nutkhut Delight Premium Anjeer ticks all these boxes—clean, pure, and just as nature intended.
✅ Country of Origin Matters
Did you know that Afghan Anjeer is among the finest in the world? These figs are known for their richness, softness, and superior taste. Turkey and India also produce good varieties, but Afghani figs often top the list.
At Nutkhut Delight, we source our Anjeer from select orchards in Afghanistan, where they are naturally sun-dried and handpicked.
✅ How Should You Store Anjeer?
Even the best Anjeer needs proper storage. Keep your dried figs:
- In an airtight container
- In a cool, dry place
- Refrigerated during summer for extended freshness
This helps preserve the texture, taste, and nutrients for longer.
