What is Pudina Makhana?

Pudina Makhana is a flavored version of fox nuts infused with natural mint (pudina) essence and other mild spices. The seeds are harvested from the Euryale Fox plant, mainly grown in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh.

The process involves:

1. Harvesting the seeds from lotus plants.
    
2. Sun-drying to remove moisture.
    
3. Roasting to achieve a crunchy texture.
    
4. Flavoring with natural mint and minimal spices.

Pudina Makhana is not just tasty—its also easy to digest, gluten-free, and chemical-free, making it suitable for children, working adults, and senior citizens.

Health Benefits of Pudina Makhana

Here why Pudina Makhana is considered a perfect snack for everyone:

1. Low-Calorie and Guilt-Free

With only 350 kcal per 100 grams, Pudina Makhana is significantly lower in calories than fried chips or namkeen. Its high fiber content (3.6g per 100g) helps you feel full for longer, making it suitable for weight management for adults and teenagers.

2. Protein-Rich Snack for Growth

Fox nuts provide 9.7g protein per 100g, which is essential for muscle growth, tissue repair, and overall energy. This makes it an ideal snack for growing children, athletes, and active adults.

3. Supports Digestive Health

Pudina Makhana is rich in fiber, which aids in smooth bowel movements and prevents constipation. The natural mint flavor has cooling and digestive properties, making it gentle on the stomach and suitable even for seniors.

4. Heart-Friendly

Fox nuts are naturally low in cholesterol and saturated fats, and the magnesium content (264 mg per 100g) helps maintain healthy blood pressure and heart function. This makes Pudina Makhana a safe snack for adults and elderly individuals concerned about cardiovascular health.

5. Helps in Managing Blood Sugar

With a glycemic index of approximately 54, fox nuts are considered low-GI food, which means they release sugar slowly into the bloodstream. This property, combined with fiber and protein, makes Pudina Makhana suitable for diabetic adults.

6. Bone and Joint Health

Fox nuts are rich in calcium (60 mg per 100g) and phosphorus, essential for strong bones and teeth. This is particularly beneficial for growing children and older adults who require extra calcium to prevent osteoporosis.

7. Boosts Immunity and Energy

Pudina Makhana provides steady energy without the sugar crash associated with chocolates or processed snacks. The antioxidants in fox nuts, combined with the anti-inflammatory properties of mint, support immune health, making it perfect for all age groups.
