New Products From This Supplier
Foxnuts, also known as Makhana or Lotus Seeds, are nutrient-rich seeds harvested from the Euryale ferox plant, which grows in ponds and wetlands. Naturally gluten-free and low in calories, foxnuts are a popular healthy snack choice. They are widely used in Indian cuisine, traditional medicine, and health foods due to their high content of protein, calcium, and antioxidants.
Foxnuts are available in raw, roasted, and processed forms and are ideal for snacking, cooking, and use in sweets or curries. With growing demand in Asia, Europe, and North America, foxnuts are gaining global recognition as a premium superfood.
