Organic Chitrali Black Dried Mulberry (Kala Shahtoot) - 1KG

Authentic Sun-Dried Organic Black Mulberries (Chitrali Kala Shahtoot)

The Northern Farms presents authentic Organic Chitrali Black Dried Mulberries (Kala Shahtoot), harvested directly from high-altitude mountain orchards in the pristine Chitral valley of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Nourished by pure glacial water and intense high-mountain sunlight, Chitrali black mulberries mature slowly on trees before undergoing traditional open-air sun-drying.

While commercial market dry fruits are frequently subjected to chemical sulfur treatments or sugar syrups, black dried mulberries from The Northern Farms remain 100% raw, unsulfured, and additive-free. Each berry retains its natural dark violet-black shade, pleasant chewiness, and rich, tart-sweet mountain berry taste.
