Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, comes from the Euryale ferox plant (a type of water lily). They are obtained from lotus seed pods, dried, and roasted to make a crunchy, healthy snack. It’s a traditional food in India, especially popular during fasting (vrat) and Ayurveda recommends it for its cooling and rejuvenating effects.
