Bihar's best-kept snacking secret — now in your hands. Guilt Free Plain Makhana (Phool Makhana / Fox Nuts) is 100% raw, single-ingredient, and sourced directly from the heartland of Indian makhana cultivation. The cleanest canvas in snacking.
Makhana — known scientifically as Euryale ferox — is the popped seed of a water lily plant cultivated in the freshwater wetlands of Bihar, Assam and West Bengal. India produces over 90% of the world's makhana supply, making it one of the country's most unique and globally recognised indigenous superfoods. It has been part of Indian Ayurvedic medicine and cuisine for centuries, valued for its cooling, nourishing and anti-inflammatory properties.
What makes makhana exceptional as a modern snack food is its remarkable nutritional balance: approximately 9.7g protein per 100g, 14.5g dietary fibre, zero cholesterol, zero trans fat, very low sodium, and a low glycaemic index — making it ideal for weight management, blood sugar regulation, and guilt-free snacking at any time of day. It is also naturally gluten-free, making it safe for individuals with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Guilt Free Plain Makhana is supplied in its raw form — allowing you to roast it at home exactly as you like it. Add ghee and rock salt for a classic preparation. Add black pepper and chaat masala for a tangy twist. Add coconut oil and turmeric for an anti-inflammatory version. The raw form also allows use in curries, kheer, soups, trail mixes, and in vrat preparations where roasted makhana is a staple across India.
Makhana is one of the most traditional vrat foods in the entire Indian subcontinent — consumed during Navratri, Ekadashi, Mahashivratri, Janmashtami and countless other fasting occasions. Guilt Free Plain Makhana brings the quality of authentic Bihar makhana directly to your doorstep, packed and distributed by Shubanvi Foods Private Limited from their facility in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
