Fox Nuts
Fox Nuts, or Makhana, are popped seeds of the aquatic plant Euryale ferox, native to the Mithila region of India. Renowned for their health benefits, they are a rich source of plant protein, calcium, and antioxidants. At Baba Baidyanath Commercial, we export premium-quality Makhana — size-sorted, manually graded, and packed under hygienic conditions for snack brands, FMCG companies, and wellness suppliers worldwide.
