FAQs
What is murabba?
Murabba is a traditional South Asian fruit preserve made by slow-cooking whole or large pieces of fruit — most commonly amla (Indian gooseberry), mango or carrot — in a thick sugar syrup, sometimes spiced with cardamom or saffron. It is eaten as a condiment, digestive or traditional health remedy, particularly in Gujarati and Punjabi households.
What is amla murabba good for?
Amla (Indian gooseberry) murabba is a traditional Ayurvedic preserve believed to support digestion, immunity and overall wellbeing. It is rich in Vitamin C and commonly eaten in the morning. We stock amla murabba from Jaimin, Ahmed and Panchranga in our Murabba collection.
Which jam brands do you stock?
We stock Kissan (Mixed Fruit Jam), Ahmed and Stute — including Stute's no-added-sugar range, which is suitable for diabetics and those reducing sugar intake. Browse the full range in Jam.
Is murabba vegetarian and vegan?
Yes — all murabbas we stock are made from fruit, sugar and spices with no animal products, making them suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. Always check individual product labels for allergen information.
What is the difference between murabba and jam?
Jam is a smooth, spreadable fruit preserve used on toast and bread. Murabba is a traditional Indian preserve where whole or large pieces of fruit are preserved in a thick spiced syrup — it has a chunkier texture and is eaten as a condiment or digestive rather than a spread.
