GET TO KNOW YOUR CRUNCH

Goodness in the little things.

Good food starts with understanding
what goes into your bowl.

01

Plant-based beginnings

Makhana is the popped seed of Euryale ferox, an aquatic plant. Plain makhana brings a plant-based ingredient to your kitchen.

02

Naturally low in fat

Plain popped makhana contains very little fat. Added oil, ghee and flavourings change the finished snack’s nutrition.

03

More than just crunch

Makhana provides carbohydrates, some protein and minerals. Enjoy it as one part of a varied, balanced diet.

04

A versatile pantry staple

Its mild flavour works with your favourite spices, in creamy kheer, or as a crisp topping added just before serving.
