Makhana (Fox Nuts / Lotus Seeds)

Inclusive of all taxes

Makhana, also known as Fox Nuts or Lotus Seeds, is a premium natural snack sourced from the fertile regions of India, primarily Bihar including Madhubani and Darbhanga. Offered in both raw and popped forms, this product is celebrated for its nutritional richness, featuring a high protein, calcium, and fiber content with very low fat, making it an ideal health food option. Available in various grades—small, medium, large, and premium—Makhana is selected and processed hygienically with moisture content strictly maintained between 5% to 7% to ensure optimum freshness and shelf stability of 9 to 12 months under appropriate storage conditions. The seeds present a natural white to off-white color and carry a subtle nutty flavor with a crisp, crunchy texture. This product is free from preservatives, additives, and artificial colors, catering to the increasing demand for clean-label, gluten-free foods. Packaging options vary from bulk raw seeds in PP or jute bags (10kg/20kg/25kg) to conveniently sized popped Makhana in retail packs (200g to 1kg) or bulk cartons, facilitating ease of distribution and retail application. Ideal for use in healthy snacking, incorporation in breakfast cereals, trail mixes, protein bars, and traditional Indian sweets, Makhana serves both food manufacturers and health-conscious consumers globally. Export readiness with FOB, CIF, or CNF shipping terms from major Indian ports such as Kolkata and Mumbai ensures prompt delivery with a lead time of 7 to 12 days. Container loadability ranges between 2 to 4 metric tons per 20ft container, subject to packaging variation.
