Raisin (Kishmish)
What is Raisin (Kishmish)?
Raisin, locally known as Kishmish, is one of the most popular and affordable dry fruits in Pakistan. Itβs made by sun-drying or shade-drying grapes, preserving their sweetness and nutritional value.
Kishmish is used widely in daily snacking, traditional cooking, herbal medicine, and even weight gain and brain-boosting diets. Its soft texture and natural sugar content make it an ideal alternative to processed sweets.
Description
Origin & Cultivation of Raisins
Raisins are cultivated from grapes grown in dry climates β and Pakistan has abundant local sources in:
-
Balochistan (Panjgur, Pishin, Mastung)
-
Gilgit-Baltistan
-
Afghanistan (widely exported to Pakistan)
-
Iran and Central Asia (for imported varieties)
The best kishmish comes from organically grown grapes, dried under the sun without chemical treatment. At PakJourney, we source raisins directly from these regions, ensuring purity, taste, and freshness.
