Roasted Makhana
Makhana
Harvested by hand from the mineral-rich ponds of Bihar's Mithila region, around Darbhanga and Madhubani, these GI-tagged lotus seeds are popped and gently roasted to an airy crunch. Naturally high in protein and low in fat, they make a clean keto- and gluten-free snack with a delicate, toasted character. Eat them as they are, toss with ghee and spice, or stir into kheer and curries.

Questions
- Is makhana the same as fox nuts or lotus seeds?
- Yes. Makhana, fox nuts and popped lotus seeds all refer to the puffed seed of Euryale ferox; phool makhana is the larger, premium grade.
- What makes Mithila makhana superior?
- The shallow, mineral-rich ponds of the Mithila region yield seeds that pop into larger, denser and crisper puffs, which is why Mithila Makhana carries a Geographical Indication tag.
- Is roasted makhana a healthy snack?
- It is naturally gluten-free, high in plant protein and low in fat, making it a popular keto-friendly snack. Choose lightly roasted, steam-sterilised seasoning to keep it clean.
