About Makhana
Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, is a popular snack originating from India, often enjoyed in traditional Indian cuisine. Derived from the seeds of the prickly water lily plant, makhana is lightly roasted to create a crunchy, puffed texture. Rich in nutrients, makhana is an excellent source of protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. It is low in calories and fat, making it a great choice for those seeking a healthy, guilt-free snack. Known for its antioxidant properties, makhana is believed to promote heart health, regulate blood sugar levels, and support weight management. It’s naturally gluten-free and pairs well with various seasonings for added flavor. While makhana is generally considered healthy, moderation is key, as eating excessive portions could lead to a higher intake of sodium when flavored.
