Foxnuts (Makhana)

Foxnuts (Euryale ferox), known as makhana or phool makhana in India, originated in Bihar's Mithilanchal region (Madhubani) around 2000 BCE, with cultivation dating back to Neolithic times in Indian and Chinese wetlands. These puffed aquatic seeds from lotus family plants offer a popcorn-like crunch, low calories, and high antioxidants, used in kheer, curries, snacks, and Ayurvedic remedies for cooling and digestion.
