Fox Nut (Makhana)

Fox Nut, commonly known as Makhana, is a unique aquatic crop harvested from lotus seeds. India, particularly Bihar, is the largest producer and exporter of makhana in the world.
Makhana is packed with nutrients — rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants — and is widely recognized as a healthy superfood. It is low in calories and fat, making it ideal for weight management and heart health. Traditionally roasted or used in sweets and curries, makhana has gained immense popularity in health-conscious global markets. Its demand is rapidly growing in countries like Japan, the U.S., and the U.K. due to its nutritional and medicinal benefits.
