About Puffed lotus seeds
Puffed lotus seeds, also known as makhana, are a light and crunchy snack derived from the seeds of the lotus flower. Originally cherished in Indian cuisine, they have gained popularity worldwide for their unique texture and impressive nutritional profile. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus, puffed lotus seeds are a heart-healthy snack that supports digestion and energy production. They are naturally low in calories and fat, making them ideal for weight-conscious individuals. Additionally, these seeds are gluten-free and plant-based, suitable for various dietary preferences. While they are typically roasted or seasoned for enhanced flavor, it’s important to consume them in moderation, especially if salted versions are used, as added sodium can negate some of the health benefits. Whether enjoyed plain or spiced, puffed lotus seeds are a wholesome and versatile addition to your snacking repertoire.
