ABOUT US
One Family, Many Visions
Where Culture, Tradition, and Modernity Meet
Being born in the sixth happiest country of the world, the Netherlands,
we have been fortunate enough to gain a prosperous education thus far. Not the same could be said for our parents;
born in a third world country and having experienced extreme hardships
due to the harsh economic climate - living in the poorest country of Asia, Afghanistan.
In 1996 - Involuntarily, they emigrated to the Netherlands because of the bombings in their home country.
They raised their children under the worst possible conditions. Despite the harsh living conditions,
they never lost sight of their roots and made it their mission to pass on their rich cultural heritage to their children.
An essential part of this was to introduce us to the food culture of Afghanistan.
Afghan cuisine is a celebration of life, love, and unity. It embodies the values of kindness, communication, and cooperation and is woven into the very fabric of our culture.
The sweet aroma of seasonal delicacies and the bold flavors of traditional spices are more than just food; they are a gateway to cherished memories and a connection to our past.

STORY
Nuts are one of nature's most nutritious foods. They are packed with healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. They are healthy, compact foods that are easy to take on the go, have a long shelf life and require minimal preparation. But this is where our store shines! We import the best nuts in the world. Smell, see, touch and taste. All our nuts are made in small batches to ensure quality. Far from corporate assembly line production - we have great people working here doing what they love. We believe this makes THE difference. We hope you do too.
