Seed Collection

Sun Drying

Sand Roasting

Hot-Air Popping

Farmers carefully gather makhana seeds from the shallow lotus ponds, a practice passed down through generations.

The raw seeds are naturally sun-dried, preserving their inherent quality and preparing them for processing.

Traditional sand roasting gently removes the outer shell, revealing the nutrient-rich makhana kernel.

Our modern facilities use clean hot-air popping, ensuring a light, crispy texture without any added oil.
