Raw and Roasted Makhana for Export
Same seed, two stages. Raw makhana is the base ingredient. Roasted makhana is the finished snack.
Raw Makhana (6 Suta+)
Large, fluffy, creamy white foxnuts with nothing added. Moisture is kept below 12% for a longer shelf life. Ideal for snack makers who roast and flavor in-house, or for packing as a plain premium product.
Roasted & Flavored Makhana
Roasted until crunchy, then seasoned. A lighter alternative to fried chips, ready for retail shelves. Pick from 10 flavors:
What 6 Suta+ Means
Makhana is graded by size, and the grade is called suta. Think of it like egg sizes: the higher the number, the bigger the pop. Small grades go into flour and processing. The large grades are what you sell as a premium snack.
6 Suta+ sits at the top of that scale. Our 6 Suta+ makhana measures 19-25 mm, with a light, airy crunch and an even creamy white color.
Bigger pops look better in a pack and roast more evenly, so you get a better product on the shelf.
Why India Supplies the World's Makhana
India grows almost all of the world's makhana, and most of it comes from the wetlands of Bihar. The crop is still harvested largely by hand from ponds, then sun-dried and popped. Bihar's Mithila Makhana carries a GI tag, which shows how closely the product is tied to the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between raw and roasted makhana?
Raw makhana is the popped seed with nothing added. Snack makers roast and season it themselves. Roasted makhana is already roasted and flavored, ready to eat and sell.
What does 6 Suta mean?
Suta is the size grade for makhana. A higher number means a bigger seed. 6 Suta+ is one of the largest grades and is used for premium snacks.
How long does makhana last?
Our makhana has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is makhana gluten-free?
Yes. Makhana is a seed, not a grain, so it's naturally gluten-free.
What documents come with each shipment?
Every shipment includes a phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice and packing list. If your country needs anything else, tell us when you order.
