Malatya apricots. Smyrna figs. Anatolian mulberries. We bring the world's best dried fruit to American shelves — each one from the region that grows it best, softened so it eats like fruit, and honest about what's in the bag.
soft, not leathery
Most dried fruit in America is an anonymous ingredient in someone else's granola. We think it deserves a name, a region and a pouch worth reaching for.
Apricots, figs and prunes are softened after drying, so the fruit eats like fruit: tender, moist and easy to snack on straight from the pouch.
Malatya on the apricot pack, the Aegean on the fig pack. Every fruit comes from the region that grows it best, and the pack says so.
Five of our seven fruits list exactly one ingredient. Where something is added — sulfur on the classic apricots, sugar on the tart cherries — we say it in plain words, on the front.
Calm, curious and awake at night: our owl sits on every pack and fronts the QURME Club, our sign-up program for the people who find us first.
Whole apricots laid out on drying cloths under the Malatya sun, the way the growers there have done it for generations. Mulberries shaken from village trees in Anatolia. We buy from the people who do it right. No tunnels, no shortcuts — just fruit, sun and time.

Rows of gold
Soft dried, ready to eatResealable stand-up pouches, 5 oz for the soft fruit, 4 oz for the berries. Nothing in the bag that isn't on the front of it.
The apricot the world knows Turkey for. Sun-dried in Malatya, then softened so it eats like fresh fruit with the sweetness turned up. Good source of potassium.
The same Malatya apricot, dried the old way without sulfur. Darker, deeper, with a honeyed, almost caramel note. One ingredient.
Smyrna figs from the Aegean hills around Aydin, where most of the world's dried figs are grown. Soft skin, jammy center, crunchy seeds. Good source of fiber.
Plump, pitted and softened so they stay moist to the last one in the bag. Deep, dark and gently sweet. Good source of fiber, high in vitamin K.
Pale, chewy and naturally sweet, with notes of honey and fig. A village snack in Anatolia for centuries, finally in a pouch. Fiber, potassium, plant protein.
The rarer, darker cousin: tart-sweet, intensely fruity, with the deep color of a berry that was never bred for shelf life. The Anatolian heritage berry.
Real sour cherries, pitted and sweetened just enough to balance the bite. Sharp, bright and very red. The one fruit in the range where we add sugar — and we say so.
Our fruit with Turkish nuts and seeds, in single-serve pillow packs from a 10-count display box. Named for the moment, not the marketing.
Nuts roasted or raw as named on pack. Contains tree nuts. GLOW and RECOVER include our sweetened tart cherries. Recipes as sampled in October 2026; final nutrition panels follow the first production run.
Aegean fig orchard, AydinMost of the dried figs on earth come from one Aegean province. Malatya is the apricot capital of the world. Mulberries have been dried in Anatolian villages for longer than anyone has written down. We go to each region for its fruit — and only its fruit — and bring it home to the US.
We buy at origin, in season, from the region that defines each fruit.
Sun-dried or slow-dried, then sorted and graded. Apricots, figs and prunes are softened for the retail line.

Gustra LLC was founded in Sheridan, Wyoming in 2025 with a simple observation: the best dried fruit in the world is grown in Turkey, yet American shoppers almost never see it as a brand. It arrives as an anonymous bulk ingredient and disappears into someone else's product.
Our founder comes from Izmir — the historic home of the Smyrna fig — and grew up around the growers and packers who dry this fruit. QURME is the brand he always wanted to build: the fruit he knows, in the pouch it deserves, on the shelves where he lives and shops now.
