Description

Khushk Alu Bukhara Irani, also known as dried plum or prune, is a naturally sweet and tangy dried fruit made from plums. Iranian dried plums are appreciated for their chewy texture, distinctive fruity flavor, and versatility in both sweet and savory recipes.

The balanced sweet-and-sour taste makes Khushk Alu Bukhara a popular ingredient in Pakistani and South Asian cooking. It can add a fruity depth to meat dishes, sauces, chutneys, drinks, and traditional recipes, while also making a convenient snack on its own.
