Frequently Asked Questions about Foxnuts (Makhana)
Everything you need to know before adding this versatile superfood to your product line.
Foxnuts, also known as Makhana, are not actually nuts. They are the puffed seeds of the water lily plant. The seeds are harvested, dried, and then roasted at high temperatures until they "pop" into the light, airy, and crunchy snack that resembles popcorn but is entirely different.
Plain, unflavoured Foxnuts have a very neutral, earthy taste, similar to a light water cracker. Their real appeal is the texture: they have a uniquely light, airy, and satisfying crunch that melts in your mouth. This neutral flavour profile makes them a perfect base for a wide variety of seasonings, from simple salt to bold, spicy blends.
While they look similar, they are very different. The biggest difference is that Foxnuts are corn-free and do not have a hard, unchewable kernel in the middle like popcorn does. They are also generally lighter and more airy than popcorn. Nutritionally, they are often higher in protein and essential minerals.
Foxnuts are considered a superfood because they are naturally packed with benefits that align with modern wellness trends. They are:
- Plant-Based & Vegan
- Naturally Gluten-Free & Corn-Free
- Low in Calories & Fat
- A Source of Plant Protein & Fiber
- Allergen-Friendly (free from tree nuts)
The most popular way to eat Foxnuts is as a roasted snack. They can be lightly tossed in olive oil or ghee and seasoned with your favourite spices. They are also incredibly versatile as a healthy ingredient; they can be crushed to make a gluten-free breading, added to trail mixes for crunch, or used in curries and soups as a light, absorbent thickener.
