Foxnut, commonly known as Makhana, is a superfood that has gained popularity for its high nutritional value and health benefits. Derived from the seeds of the Euryale ferox plant, makhana is gluten-free, low in calories, and rich in antioxidants. It is widely consumed as a healthy snack, either roasted with spices or used in sweets, puddings, and energy bars.
Foxnuts are known for their high fiber content, making them easy to digest and an excellent food choice for diabetic and heart-conscious diets. The demand for organic and premium-quality foxnuts has increased significantly in domestic and export markets.
