All of our products are grown in parts of Afghanistan where they are meant to be grown, with stable water supplies and multi-generational family farms and village cooperatives.

Most Afghans rely on agriculture to feed their families and to earn a livelihood, but large-scale commercial farms are virtually nonexistent. The size and yield of Afghan farms is such that the products grown on them pass down through generations as true heirlooms.

Ziba brings you direct-from-origin white mulberries, pistachios and licorice historically available only to the world’s most resourceful foragers. There has been no active management or modification to increase these products’ yield or affect their size, flavor or appearance.

Ziba’s products are naturally high in nutrients but relatively low in calories; our products are loaded with Fiber, Vitamins, Omega-3 fats and minerals, and have no added ingredients other than pure Afghan salt in our roasted nuts.

Ziba’s products are grown without the use of chemical pesticides and contain no additives or preservatives of any kind, including sulfites. Afghan dried fruit and nuts don’t need to cut corners to be world-class.
