Dried Fruit

Sun-dried apricots, figs, raisins, mulberries and mixed dried fruit — for snacking, compote and baking.

Turkish dried fruit is a pantry cornerstone; buy in size and it keeps for months.

Turkish Dried Fruit for Snacking and Baking

Dried fruit is one of Turkey's great exports, and this collection covers the varieties the country is genuinely famous for. Sun dried Aegean figs with jammy seeds, sulphured and natural Malatya apricots, sultanas and black raisins, dried mulberries, sour cherries and mixed fruit medleys all appear here. Turkish dried fruit is typically sun dried rather than kiln forced, which concentrates flavour and keeps the texture chewy rather than leathery. It works as a straight snack, chopped into compote and pilav, simmered into hosaf, or served with walnuts and cheese at the end of a meal.

Choosing and storing dried fruit

Natural unsulphured apricots are dark brown and taste more intensely of fruit; the bright orange ones are sulphured for colour and stay softer for longer. Store all dried fruit sealed in a cool cupboard, and if a bag firms up, a short soak in warm water or tea brings it straight back.

About our Dried Fruit selection

• Curated range rather than an endless list of near identical items.
• Producers chosen for consistency, not just for the lowest cost.
• Free shipping over $100, dispatched from the United States.
• New lines added regularly based on customer requests.

We keep the Dried Fruit range deliberately tight so every item earns its place on the shelf. That means fewer duplicated products, faster stock turnover and better prices on the lines people genuinely reorder. If you are building a first order, start with the Dried Fruit products marked as best sellers and expand from there once you know what your household gets through.

If you are new to Dried Fruit, the easiest way to start is to order one of each style rather than a large quantity of a single item, then reorder what your household actually finishes. Tastes vary far more in this category than people expect, and a small trial order tells you more than any description can. Our team is happy to suggest a starting selection of Dried Fruit if you tell us how you plan to use it, whether that is everyday cooking, a special occasion table or a gift for someone who grew up with these flavours.
