Makhana — India's Favourite Superfood Snack, Now in 3 Flavours

65% of Indians now name makhana as their go-to superfood snack, according to Farmley's Healthy Snacking Report 2025. The Government of India even announced a dedicated Makhana Board in Bihar in the Union Budget 2025–26, cementing its status as one of India's most important agricultural and wellness products.

At Guilt Free, we source our makhana (phool makhana / fox nuts / lotus seeds) directly from Bihar — the state that produces 85–90% of the world's makhana supply. Every batch is quality-graded, cleaned and processed at our Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh facility by Shubanvi Foods Private Limited. No MSG. No maida. No preservatives.

Why makhana is India's smartest snack

Makhana (Euryale ferox) is a lotus seed harvested from the wetlands of Bihar. It is naturally low in fat, high in protein, zero cholesterol, and has a low glycaemic index — making it one of the most nutritionally balanced snack foods available. It is also one of the oldest vrat (fasting) foods in the Indian subcontinent, consumed during Navratri, Ekadashi, and Mahashivratri.

A 30g serving of plain makhana contains approximately 104 kcal, 2.9g protein and 0.1g fat. Compare that to the same serving of chips: 155 kcal, 1.5g protein, 9g fat — and full of maida.
