Nutritional Values (Approx. per 100g)

Storage Instructions

• Airtight Storage: Keep in a sealed glass jar or airtight container to retain the moist, pulpy texture.

• Cool & Dry: Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight; excess heat can cause the natural sugars to crystallize.

• Refrigeration: In humid climates, refrigeration is highly recommended to prevent spoilage and keep the fruit succulent.

Fun Facts

• The “Medicinal” Raisin: In Indian households, Munakka is rarely treated as just a snack; it is considered a “healing food” or Aushadhi.

• Seed Power: The seeds inside Munakka are actually edible and contain antioxidants, though many prefer to remove them after soaking.

• Sun-Kissed: Traditional Afghan Munakka is dried naturally on the vine or in the sun, which gives it its characteristic deep brown color compared to chemically treated yellow raisins.

Usage Ideas

• Overnight Soak: Soak 5–7 Munakkas in water overnight and consume them (along with the water) in the morning for best digestive results.

• Milk Infusion: Boil with milk and a pinch of turmeric for a nourishing, immunity-boosting bedtime drink.

• Natural Sweetener: Deseed and chop into your morning porridge or kheer for a rich, healthy sweetness.
