Makhana

What is Makhana?

Makhana, also known as FOX NUTS or lotus seeds, are edible seeds derived from the Euryale ferox plant- a flowering plant classified in the water lily family (Nymphaeaceae) and the only extant species in the genus Euryale commonly found  in India. These seeds are often roasted and used as a snack, and they have been an essential  part of traditional Indian medicine and cuisine for centuries.

It is extensively grown in marshy wetlands, tanks, ponds and lakes, and harvested for its seed. Other common names include prickly water lily seeds, popped lotus seeds, foxnut or gorgon nut.

Highly nutritious, it is a fully organic non-cereal food found mainly in India (alone accounts for 90% of world production).

Makhana is not simple crop to cultivate. Special skills are required for farming, harvesting and processing. The lotus seeds are meticulously extracted and processed to make them ready to eat. In India, Makhana is famously known as Phool Makhana; due to its unique and flowery appearance.
