Seedcare Premium Makhana Fox Nuts | Low Calorie High Protein | Bihar

Makhana (Phool Makhana / Fox Nuts) — Bihar's Gift to the World

Makhana are the popped seeds of the Euryale ferox lotus plant, harvested from the natural freshwater lakes of Mithila, Bihar. India produces 90% of the world's makhana supply. Seedcare sources exclusively from the Darbhanga and Madhubani regions of Bihar — considered the finest makhana-producing areas in the world.

Why Makhana Is the Perfect Indian Snack

India is experiencing a snacking revolution. Urban consumers are moving away from fried chips and biscuits toward healthier alternatives. Makhana is uniquely positioned as a snack that:

• Has half the calories of cashews or almonds
• Is completely fat-free (0.1g per 100g)
• Has a low glycaemic index of 52 — safe for diabetics
• Is naturally gluten-free — suitable for celiac and gluten sensitivity
• Has a satisfying crunch that replaces chips and crackers
• Can be seasoned to any taste — namkeen, peri peri, cheese, masala

Complete Nutritional Profile (per 100g)

The Kaempferol Advantage

Makhana contains kaempferol — a powerful flavonoid antioxidant that has been specifically studied for anti-ageing properties. Kaempferol works by:

• Inhibiting LOX-1 enzyme — reduces age-related cellular degeneration
• Protecting telomeres — preserves DNA integrity and cell longevity
• Anti-inflammatory — reduces chronic systemic inflammation
• Neuroprotective — may reduce Alzheimer's risk (in preclinical studies)

No other common Indian snack food contains significant kaempferol. This makes makhana uniquely positioned as an anti-ageing superfood.

7 Health Benefits

1. Weight Management At 347 kcal per 100g (vs. 585 for cashews), makhana provides significant volume and crunch with fewer calories. The protein (9.7g) creates satiety, preventing overeating.

2. Diabetes-Friendly Snacking With a glycaemic index of just 52, makhana causes a slow, steady rise in blood sugar — unlike most snack foods. Suitable for Type 2 diabetics as a between-meal snack.

3. Kidney Health Makhana has a naturally low sodium content and high potassium content — the ideal profile for kidney health. Recommended by nephrologists as a safe snack for kidney disease patients.

4. Anti-Ageing The kaempferol content makes makhana one of the only Indian snack foods with documented anti-ageing properties.

5. Bone Density Calcium (60mg) and magnesium (67mg) per 100g contribute to bone mineral density maintenance.

6. Digestive Health Makhana is one of the most easily digestible foods available. It reduces acidity, soothes the stomach lining and is recommended for people with IBS, gastritis and GERD.

7. Heart Health Zero saturated fat, zero cholesterol and significant potassium make makhana an excellent heart-healthy snack.
