Makhana (also known as Fox Nuts or Lotus Seeds) is a nutritious, crunchy snack made from the seeds of the Euryale Fox plant, found primarily in India and East Asia. Makhana is low in calories, high in protein, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus.

It is widely consumed as a healthy snack, roasted or fried with ghee or spices, and is also used in desserts, soups, and curries. Makhana is known for its antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a popular choice for weight management and overall health. It is also often used in traditional Indian fasting dishes due to its light and easy-to-digest nature.
