Badam 1kg Price | Almond 1kg Price - AlphonsoMango.in

Badam 1kg price is not one fixed number. It changes with variety, grade, kernel size, packing and season, and differs between sellers. Mamra badam usually costs more than California almonds. We do not quote one rate, so check our product pages for the current price.

If you search for badam 1kg price, you will see different rates from different shops, apps and wholesalers, sometimes on the same day. Almonds are sold in several grades and forms, and the rate for one is not the rate for another. This page explains what goes into the number so you can compare any seller on equal terms.

What decides badam 1kg price

Variety. California almonds, Mamra almonds and others are different products, with Mamra normally sitting above California.
Grade and kernel size. Larger, even, clean kernels are graded higher. Mixed or broken pieces usually cost less.
Form. Whole almonds, sliced almonds, flakes and powder are different products, with different processing costs.
Raw, roasted or flavoured. Added processing, salt or flavour changes the offer, so compare like with like.
Pack and pack size. Vacuum-sealed or resealable packs cost more to produce than loose bulk, and small packs cost more per kg than large ones.
Crop, import costs and demand. Most almonds sold in India are imported, so exchange rates, the harvest abroad and festival demand all feed in.
Seller and location. Retail, wholesale, delivery and local taxes differ from city to city.

Because several of these move through the year, the price of 1 kg of badam in one month is not the price in another. We do not publish a figure in this article. The current price for each of our almonds is on its product page.

California vs Mamra vs sliced almonds

Type	What it is	Common use
California almonds	Plump, light brown kernels; the most widely sold almond in India	Daily snacking, soaking, sweets
Mamra badam	Smaller, more oil-rich kernel with a rich taste; usually priced above California	Gifting, special use, premium dishes
sliced almonds	Thin slices or flakes of whole almonds	Garnish, baking, desserts

Our badam pisin (almond gum) is a different product from almonds, used in some winter drinks and sweets. It is not a replacement for badam kernels.

California produces about 80% of the world's almonds, and almonds are about 50% fat.

How to compare badam prices fairly

When two sellers show different rates, run through these steps before deciding.

Check the variety. California and Mamra are not comparable.
Check the form: whole, sliced or powder.
Check the weight in the pack. A "1 kg" listing should say net weight of the almonds, not weight with packing.
Divide the price by the grams in the pack so you compare per 100 g.
Check whether delivery or tax is included.
Check the date of packing or batch if the seller shows it.

If a rate is much lower than others, ask which grade, form and net weight it is for.

How many almonds in 1 kg

The count depends on kernel size. A typical California almond kernel weighs roughly 1 to 1.4 g, which means 1 kg holds roughly 700 to 1,000 almonds. Mamra kernels are smaller and oil-rich, so a kilogram usually holds more pieces. Because grades differ, count a 100 g sample if you need a precise number.

Almond nutrition

Food composition tables list raw almonds at about 575 to 580 kcal per 100 g, with about 21 g protein, 12 g fibre, 50 g fat (mostly unsaturated) and 22 g carbohydrate. A single almond is about 7 calories. Almonds are also a source of vitamin E, magnesium and calcium. They are calorie dense, so a portion of about 20 to 30 g is a typical serving.

Many people eat soaked almonds in the morning. If you have a nut allergy, kidney concern or follow a diet plan, ask your doctor or dietitian before changing how many you eat.

Raw, soaked or roasted badam

The same almond can be eaten in several ways, and each has fans in Indian homes.

Raw: the plain kernel, with its brown skin. Good for snacking and cooking.
Soaked: left in water overnight and peeled in the morning. The skin slips off easily and the texture is softer. This is a common household practice and a matter of taste and habit.
Roasted: dry roasted for a crunchier bite. Check labels for added oil and salt.
Ground or sliced: for halwa, kheer, cakes and garnish.

When you compare prices, compare the same form. A roasted or flavoured pack is not the same product as raw whole kernels, and the weight changes with roasting.

Badam for gifting and festivals

Almonds are a common choice in Diwali boxes, wedding hampers and corporate gifts. Demand rises before festivals, and that can lift market rates for a few weeks. If you plan a large gift order, check the product page early, decide the grade you want and compare per 100 g rather than per box. We also supply restaurants and hotels, so write to us if you have a bulk need.

How to judge almond quality

Look: even, plump kernels in a uniform colour. Many broken pieces or dark spots are a poor sign.
Smell: a mild, sweet nutty smell. A paint-like or sour smell suggests rancid oil.
Taste: a clean, sweet taste. A strong bitter taste can mean bitter almonds or old stock.
Crunch: fresh almonds snap rather than bend.

Storage

Keep almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. For longer storage, especially in hot or humid weather, the fridge slows the oils from going rancid. Buy in quantities you will finish in a few months.
