What is Makhana?
Makhana — also called fox nut, phool makhana, or lotus seed — is the popped seed of Euryale ferox, a water lily grown in the shallow ponds of Bihar's Mithila region (Darbhanga, Madhubani, Saharsa). Farmers harvest the seeds, sun-dry them for 4–6 weeks, then pop them on hot pans. The result is the light, crunchy, white nut you know as makhana. RootWell sources exclusively 4+ suta grade — the largest, whitest, most premium nuts traditionally reserved for export.
