About Sweet makhana

Sweet Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, is a popular snack originating from Indian cuisine. Made by caramelizing puffed makhana with sugar or jaggery, this treat is light, crunchy, and irresistibly sweet. Makhana is naturally rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium, making it a nutritious addition to diets. It is low in fat and contains antioxidants which support heart health and combat inflammation. The sweetened version does, however, add sugar, which increases its calorie content and should be consumed in moderation, especially for those managing blood sugar levels. Sweet Makhana is often enjoyed during festive occasions or as a quick, satisfying snack, blending indulgence with nutritional benefits when eaten mindfully.
