The Fox Nut Story
Makhana, also known as fox nuts or Makhana seeds, are the edible seeds of the Makhana plant (Euryale ferox), predominantly cultivated in the wetlands of Bihar, especially in the Mithilanchal region.
Traditionally valued in Ayurveda for their medicinal properties, makhana is now recognized globally as a superfood due to its impressive nutritional profile.
These seeds are collected from the water, dried, roasted, and popped to produce a light, airy texture that makes them a healthy and versatile food. It is rich in protein, calcium, fiber, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants.
