Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of eating makhana?

Makhana is a convenient, naturally gluten-free popped seed that can provide energy and some protein and fibre. The benefit depends on the portion, recipe, roasting oil and the rest of your diet.

How many makhana should I eat in a day?

There is no single number for everyone. Use the serving size on the product label, portion a bowl instead of eating from the pouch and adjust for your overall needs.
