Mamra Almonds — Single Tree Crop | Kashmir | 500g
Mamra Almonds · Kupwara · Kashmir
Mamra badam — the Ayurvedic almond. Oilier, richer, smaller than California. Soak overnight.
Kashmiri Mamra almonds are a different variety from California almonds — not just a different grade. Mamra badam is smaller, wrinkled, and has 50–60% fat content versus California's 45%. That higher oil content is why Ayurvedic texts named Mamra specifically — not 'almond' generically. Almost all kashmiri almonds sold online — even ones labelled 'Kashmiri' — are California almonds from bulk traders. Our Mamra almonds come directly from Kupwara, Kashmir. To get the full benefit of kashmiri mamra almonds: soak overnight in water, peel the skin in the morning, eat on an empty stomach. Soaking removes phytic acid — the compound that blocks absorption of minerals in raw almonds. This is the Kashmiri badam morning ritual, exactly as it has been practised for centuries.
Soaking removes tannins that block absorption — nutrients are 30–40% more bioavailable than unsoaked. Eat on empty stomach for best effect.
Protein and fat slow glucose release — no crash at 11am. 8 soaked Mamra almonds gives you steadier energy than any packaged snack.
Mamra almonds are 60% healthy fats — higher than California almonds. Daily eating raises Vitamin E in your skin and strengthens hair from the inside.
Almonds eaten before or during a carbohydrate meal reduce the post-meal blood sugar spike by up to 30%. The combination of fibre, healthy fat, and protein slows glucose absorption. Mamra almonds — being higher in oil content — do this more effectively than dry California almonds.
What it does

- Mamra almonds are one of the richest food sources of Vitamin E. Vitamin E helps protect brain cells from damage over time.
- People who eat enough Vitamin E regularly tend to hold onto memory better as they get older.
- One handful (28g) gives you nearly half your daily Vitamin E requirement.
The same fat as olive oil — in a nut.
- The main fat in almonds is oleic acid — the same heart-protective fat found in olive oil.
- Eating almonds regularly raises good cholesterol and reduces the harmful type over time.
- Multiple large studies confirm that daily almond intake is good for heart health.
Vitamin E protects your skin from the inside.
- Vitamin E reaches the fat layers of your skin and helps protect cells from UV damage.
- Regular intake can reduce dark spots and keep skin elastic over time.
- Skin effects are cumulative — most people notice a difference after 2–3 months of daily eating.

How to eat it
10–12 Mamra almonds in a small bowl. Leave overnight. The skin peels off easily in the morning.
First thing before breakfast. Pair with warm milk for the full Kashmiri morning ritual. Peeling removes tannins that cause digestive discomfort.
10–15 Mamra almonds before lunch reduces blood sugar spikes from the meal. No soaking needed for snacking.
The soaking step — never skip it
Raw almonds contain a compound called phytic acid that blocks some of the nutrition. Soaking overnight removes it. Soak in water → peel → eat. That's it.
What customers say
These are not the regular almonds at all. Much more oily and flavourful when soaked overnight. Very genuinely different. 😮
Soaked overnight and peeled in morning. Colour inside is very white and fresh. Taste is rich. Highly satisfied.
My mother asked where I got these. Taste is much richer than what we buy locally. She keeps asking me to reorder.
No broken pieces, fresh smell, good quality. This is what real Kashmiri almonds should taste like. Will keep ordering.
