Cultivation of Makhana Seeds

OnlyFarms Makhana (fox nut) cultivation begins in shallow wetlands, ponds, and low-lying waterlogged fields, where the crop naturally grows in nutrient-rich aquatic environments.

2 Harvesting of Makhana Seeds

As the mature fruits sink to the pond bed, farmers dive into the water to collect the makhana using specialized tools and bamboo baskets to scoop seeds from the pond floor.

3 Natural Sun Drying of Seeds

Freshly harvested makhana seeds undergo a traditional natural sun-drying process, allowing them to dry thoroughly and prepare the raw seeds for roasting and popping.

4 Roasting & Popping of Seeds

The dried black makhana seeds are carefully roasted and popped using traditional methods, transforming them into the white, fluffy Makhana that consumers enjoy as a snack.

5 Cleaning through Holler Machine

The processed makhana undergoes thorough cleaning and sorting through automated machinery, removing impurities and unwanted material to ensure the final product’s purity.

6 Sorting & Grading of Cleaned Makhana

Cleaned fox nuts are carefully sorted and graded to ensure only quality makhana reaches packaging. It is systematically graded by size, shape, and crispness to meet standards.

7 Adding natural flavour

Selected makhana is carefully roasted and combined with natural flavours and seasonings. Each batch is evenly coated to enhance its taste while preserving the natural crunch.
