Our Makhana Story

From Ancient Waters to Your Bowl

A Taste of History, A Tradition Continued

Born in Mithilanchal’s Tranquil Ponds

In the ponds of Madhubani and Darbhanga, a superfood took shape—Makhana (fox nut/lotus seed). For centuries it remained a closely guarded pillar of Indian wellness: served in royal kitchens under the Darbhanga Raj, revered in sacred rituals, Ayurveda, and festive feasts.

Locals perfected the craft—collecting seeds, sun-drying, then hand-popping them into light, crunchy delights. This knowledge passed through generations, transforming a wild harvest into a community livelihood. Today, 3500+ metric tonnes of makhana trade annually in Bihar, sustaining families and honoring heritage.

Our Best Selling Products

The journey begins in the serene ponds of Mithilanchal, Bihar, where lotus plants are cultivated traditionally. Around November, lotus fruits bloom above the surface, while seeds silently develop underwater. As monsoon ends in July, these seeds ripen and drop into the pond. Skilled local divers collect only the mature seeds by hand—leaving the rest to regenerate naturally, preserving both tradition and sustainability.

After harvest, the seeds undergo a unique eight-furnace roasting ritual. Passed through each furnace one by one, the seeds are gradually heated to perfection. At the final furnace, a “pop” signals their transformation into puffed Makhanas. This traditional roasting method, passed down through generations, creates that signature light and crunchy texture while locking in nutrition.

Next, the roasted seeds are gently cracked to remove their outer shell. Then begins the careful sorting by hand—each Makhana is judged for its size, shape, and shine. A final spin in a centrifugal machine polishes them to a clean, smooth finish. What emerges is pure white, fluffy Makhana—ready to deliver taste, crunch, and quality with every bite.

Once polished, the Makhanas are packaged in sealed, food-safe packs to retain their freshness and crunch. With every batch carefully marked and quality-checked, Ghat Side ensures your Makhana is pure, clean, and nutrient-rich. From the lotus ponds of Bihar to your palm, this ancient superfood completes its journey—now ready to become your favorite guilt-free snack.

Ayurveda • Holistic Wellness

Healing Benefits of Makhana Ayurveda

Ayurveda (Ayur = life, Veda = knowledge) is a 5,000-year-old holistic system that promotes balance of body, mind, and spirit through lifestyle, diet, herbs, yoga, and meditation. It views health via the five elements and the three Doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha.

What is Ayurveda?

More than medicine, Ayurveda is a way of life that aims for harmony among body, mind, and spirit using time-tested daily practices and herbal nutrition.

Common Dosha Imbalances

  • Vata: dry skin, insomnia, anxiety.
  • Pitta: acidity, ulcers, irritability.
  • Kapha: congestion, fatigue, weight gain.

Makhana in Ayurvedic Literature

Makhana (fox nut/lotus seed), abundant in Bihar’s ponds, appears in classical dietetic groups like Shaka Varga and is valued for therapeutic nutrition.

Balances Vata & Pitta

With Sheeta (cooling) and Snigdha (unctuous) qualities, Makhana pacifies both Vata & Pitta and supports digestion.

Reproductive Vitality

Categorized as Vrushya (aphrodisiac), it strengthens reproductive tissues and supports fertility in both men and women.

Better Sleep & Calm

Rich in calcium and calming compounds, Makhana soothes the nervous system to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality.

Skin & Anti-Aging

Antioxidant-rich; supports collagen, healthy texture, and helps prevent premature greying or hair thinning.

Anti-Inflammatory & Immunity

Rich in magnesium, zinc, iron & phosphorus—helps joint comfort, reduces inflammation, and builds immunity.

Heartbeat & Palpitations

Used traditionally to stabilize heart rhythm, manage palpitations and support healthy blood flow.

Energy & Vitality

Boosts Ojas (life energy), nourishes core strength, and combats fatigue—ideal for kids, athletes & elders.

Makhana – A Healthy Snack

Light, crunchy, and versatile—enjoy roasted or flavored. Supports digestion and metabolic balance for all ages.

When to Avoid / Use Mindfully

Kapha-dominant individuals or those with constipation/bloating should limit intake. During pregnancy, moderate consumption supports health, but overuse may cause discomfort.
