Ziba Foods Reviews

4.6

Ziba Foods earns largely positive reviews for fresh-tasting, unique Afghan-sourced dried fruits and nutsā€”standouts include Baby Pistachio Kernels, kishmish raisins, dried white mulberries, and apricot kernelsā€”suggesting the brand is good at what it does. Reviews also flag drawbacks: sunā€‘dried figs can be dry and flavorless, some nuts read ordinary or overā€‘salted, and nonā€‘resealable packaging frustrates snacking and storage.

    Grabbed these from a Thingdrop and was very interested to experience the difference from these snacks and something I might pick up at Trader Joe's. I laid these out as part of a quick charcuterie board and the response was mixed but mostly positive. I agree with a previous reviewer that the dried figs were a miss but most of the other items were tasty and fresh. The natural almonds were a little underwhelming but otherwise, I think I might grab some more of these packs as a healthy and yummy option. I hope we can find them in stores so it's a bit more accessible.

    love this brand so much!! I recently got the sampler pack and can't wait to buy more. It all tastes so fresh and unique and recommend this brand enough to people! also love their mission and empowering the women in the community with their brand.

    The packaging I received was super cool! The assortment of snackable superfoods they sent me was absolutely delicious!! I'm definitely going to order more of these again!

    I received a coupon for $2 off my purchase, so thought I would give them a try. I bought the sun-dried figs (the local supermarket only had two SKUs available), and they were ... figs. Not great, but not bad. They claim to be heirloom in some manner, were shaped like little discs, and tasted a tad drier than the figs I am used, but they weren't particularly distinct. I like the company's mission of importing foods from Afghanistan (assuming the money is going to the workers and not the government) and supporting family farms, but at $9 for just over 5 oz., ($7 with the coupon) I won't be buying them again, especially when figs grown by similarly small domestic farms or coops are just as tasty and available for far less.

In their own words

Ziba Foods is an artisanal food company that specializes in heirloom and wild-grown dried fruits and nuts from the mineral-rich valleys of Afghanistan. Our focus is on introducing unique products distinguished by their superior quality and flavor. We are a social enterprise with a focus on providing sustainable impact to marginalized communities, particularly for women and farmers in Afghanistan. Our dried fruits and nuts are grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides, and with stable water supplies in multi-generational family farms and village cooperatives. Our heirloom products are varieties passed down through generations with little human interference, and our wild-grown products have historically been available only to the most resourceful foragers. Our products contain no sulfites, preservatives, or additives (with the exception of a light dusting of Afghan salt on select dry roasted & salted products).
