Foxnuts, also known as makhana or lotus seeds, are a nutritious snack derived from the seeds of the Euryale fox plant, native to India and parts of East Asia. Widely popular in Indian cuisine, they are often roasted and seasoned, serving as a light and crunchy treat. Rich in protein, fiber, and vital minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, foxnuts are low in calories and fat, making them ideal for weight management. They boast antioxidant properties, which support heart health and combat inflammation, alongside a low glycemic index suitable for diabetics. However, fried or heavily salted versions may diminish their nutritional value. Gluten-free and easily digestible, they cater to various dietary needs, including keto and vegan lifestyles. Foxnuts have ancient ties to Ayurvedic practices for their purported benefits on kidney health and anti-aging. Versatile and wholesome, they’re perfect for guilt-free snacking or adding texture to dishes.
