The Ancient superfood from Bihar’s sacred ponds – light, pure & incredibly wholesome
Redbasil’s Premium Plain Makhana is harvested from the tranquil, lotus-filled ponds of Mithila, Bihar — a region revered for producing the finest fox nuts (makhana) in the world. These nutrient-dense seeds are handpicked by local artisans, many from generations of makhana farmers who understand the perfect stage for harvesting and sun-drying.
Sourced directly from Mithila’s certified farms, our makhana skips middlemen — ensuring both purity and fair-trade sourcing
Appearance: Large, round, and uniformly puffed white lotus seeds with a soft crunch
Taste & flavour: Naturally mild, slightly nutty with a delicate earthiness — perfect as is or for seasoning
Freshness: Cleaned and puffed using traditional fire-roasting methods, ensuring light texture without additives, oil, or salt
The seeds of the lotus flower are harvested by hand, cleaned, sun-dried, and puffed using an age-old slow roasting method over open flame — without any chemicals or artificial treatments. Only the top grade, fully popped seeds are selected and vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness.
This low-intervention process keeps the makhana light, digestible, and rich in nutrients.
