Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, is a type of edible seed derived from the lotus flower. The seeds are harvested from the lotus plant, primarily the species called Euryale ferox, and are then processed and dried before being sold.
They are commonly used in Indian cuisine and are known for their crunchy texture and mild flavor. Makhana is often roasted or popped and can be seasoned with various spices to make a delicious and nutritious snack. They are also used in sweets, curries, and other dishes in Indian cooking.
