Staples

Makhana is the new-age healthy popcorn making waves in nutrition circles worldwide. It is crunchy, tasty, easy to prepare, economical and super healthy. Light weight makhana roasted with ghee and pinch of salt sprinkeld on it make an amazing snack; they are light, crunchy and healthy. Makhanas are also known as Fox Nuts, Euryale ferox, lotus seeds, gorgon nuts and phool makhana. These seeds are often used in quite a few Indian sweets and savouries like kheer, raita or makhana curry and are also eaten as an evening tea-time snack. Many people in different regions across the country use these seeds as an offering to the Gods, especially during Navratri.
Makhana harvest is a laborious method and requires skilled labour. The harvest takes place during morning at about 10:00 am and continues till about 3:00 pm. It takes around four to five hours to collect seeds at a time from the bottom of the pond. The labour intensive nature of harvesting and subsequent processing is one of the reasons why fox-nuts are so expensive.
They are low in cholesterol, fat and sodium - this makes them an ideal in-between snack. They also have a high magnesium content and are good for those with high BP, heart diseases and obesity. They are also recommended as a snack for diabetics due to their low glycemic index.
We bring these Makhanas from Omprakash. Omprakash is an agri-preneur who has been practicing chemical free farming at his farm since past 5 years. He is also working with other farmers in the region on educating them on chemical free farming methods.
