What Is Makhana?
Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, comes from the water lily plant. For centuries, it’s been a staple in Indian diets and Ayurvedic traditions. Light, crunchy, and packed with nutrients, makhana has earned the modern label of “superfood.”
Why Makhana Is a Superfood
- Low in Calories, High in Nutrition
Makhana is naturally low in calories but rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It keeps you full without weighing you down. - Heart-Friendly Snack
The low sodium and high potassium content help regulate blood pressure and support heart health—making it a smarter choice than salty fried snacks. - Antioxidant Power
Makhana contains kaempferol, a natural antioxidant known to fight inflammation and slow aging at the cellular level. - Gluten-Free & Plant-Based
Perfect for anyone on gluten-free, vegan, or clean-label diets. It’s light on the stomach and easy to digest. - Supports Weight Management
Because it’s protein-rich and low in fat, makhana keeps you satisfied longer, curbing unhealthy snacking habits.
Raw vs Flavoured Makhana
Raw Makhana:
Great for DIY cooking—roast it at home with ghee or spices, or use in traditional recipes like kheer, curries, or trail mixes.
Flavoured Makhana (Nuts & Roots):
For on-the-go snacking, we bring makhana to life with bold seasonings. From fiery Peri Peri to classic Salt & Pepper, every pack delivers taste without the guilt of fried chips.
Why Nuts & Roots Makhana?
- Lightly roasted to keep it crunchy and oil-free.
- No artificial nasties—just clean, honest ingredients.
- Flavours that excite—spicy, tangy, or classic, there’s one for every mood.
Makhana isn’t just a passing health trend. It’s an ancient food made modern—and at Nuts & Roots, it’s a snack you’ll actually look forward to.
