Specifications & Details

Product Description

Sahar 310g Citron Jam (Morabba-ye Balang) is the quintessential crown jewel of classical Persian breakfast heritage. Prepared from the thick, aromatic spongy mesocarp of selected citrons (Citrus medica) harvested in Iran's subtropical valleys, the ribbons undergo meticulous multi-stage blanching and cold-water flushing to purge bitter flavonoids while locking in a supple, semi-translucent candied bite. Poached in vacuum kettles with crystalline sucrose syrup, subtle crushed green cardamom, and rosewater drops, it yields a glowing, gem-like appearance. Highly praised in traditional nutrition for its stomachic and digestive wellness attributes, it contains zero synthetic food dyes or preservatives across a 24-month shelf life.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Thick citron ribbons undergo repeated cycles of hot blanching and rapid counter-current cold water flushing to leach out naringin and bitter limonoid glycosides. Prompt immersion into warm sucrose syrup preserves structural crispness, preventing waterlogging and cellular flaccidity.

Syrup Brix is locked at 65% to 68%. Vacuum evaporation at controlled lower temperatures prevents sucrose discoloration, enabling the transparent syrup to uniformly penetrate the spongy cellular matrix, rendering the ribbons brilliantly translucent and glass-like.

Packed 12 jars per heavy-gauge shrink-wrapped tray with a reinforced corrugated bottom pad (approx. 6.4kg gross pack weight), engineered for high pallet stacking stability during container ocean shipping.

A standard 20ft dry freight container accommodates approximately 2,100 to 2,300 shrink packs of 12 units on pallets (25,200 to 27,600 jars, equating to ~7.8-8.5 tons net, ~15 tons gross payload).

Citron is traditionally celebrated for strengthening stomach tone, soothing gastric acid reflux, and supporting hepatic function. The bioflavonoids and dense dietary fibers in the rind, synergized by warming cardamom, aid lipid digestion during rich breakfasts.

No; the crystalline golden glow and delicate fragrance are 100% natural, achieved solely via vacuum low-heat evaporation, pure sugar, and authentic green cardamom distillate, completely free from industrial colorants or synthetic enhancers.

The metal closure is applied via a high-speed steam-vacuum capper. As long as hermetic vacuum holds, the central button remains concave, producing an audible "pop" upon initial twisting to confirm genuine factory seal security.
