Phool Makhana, also known as popped lotus seeds or fox nuts, is an organic, non-cereal superfood traditionally found in the still waters of lakes, ponds, and wetlands. It has been a part of Indian cuisine for centuries—commonly used to prepare makhana kheer, especially during fasting. While many enjoy it raw or lightly boiled, Makhana is most often incorporated into a variety of Indian dishes and snacks.
Fox Nuts Premium Plain are meticulously handpicked and sorted to ensure consistent, superior quality throughout the year. These nutrient-dense seeds offer a powerful blend of health benefits, making them a perfect daily snack for all age groups.
Rich in antioxidants, Fox Nuts help protect the body from harmful free radicals and may also support healthy blood sugar levels. Their naturally low-calorie, low-fat composition makes them ideal for weight management, as they keep you fuller for longer without adding excess calories. Known for their anti-aging properties, they support youthful, glowing skin and contribute to overall skin wellness.
Makhana is also considered a heart-healthy food. Regular consumption may help lower cholesterol, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and promote overall heart health. With their clean, plant-based nutrition, Fox Nuts Premium Plain make an excellent addition to a balanced, wholesome lifestyle.
Our Legacy:
We pioneered the commercial development of Makhana as an organic food source in Madhubani, Bihar. As global recognition of Makhana as a superfood continues to rise, demand is rapidly increasing worldwide.
Harvesting & Preparation:
These lotus seeds are typically harvested in late summer. They are then roasted and popped—similar to popcorn—giving them their light, crunchy texture. You can enjoy them plain or mix them with your favourite flavours such as butter, herbs, or honey to create a delicious and healthy snack. When roasted with a little oil or butter and your preferred spices, Phool Makhana transforms into a tasty, guilt-free alternative to chips and other unhealthy snacks.
Traditional Benefits:
Beyond culinary use, Makhana has been valued in Ayurveda for generations. The seeds are believed to possess aphrodisiac properties and are considered helpful for conditions like arthritis, premature ageing, and general weakness. Consuming them regularly may contribute to improved vitality and overall wellness.
