Harvesting
Makhana (fox nuts) are harvested when the seed pods mature and begin to float on the water’s surface. The plants are carefully hand-harvested by plucking the pods from the water. The seeds are then extracted, cleaned, and dried for further processing.
Roasting
Makhana roasting involves dry-roasting the seeds at controlled temperatures to enhance flavor and texture. The seeds are continuously stirred to ensure even roasting without burning. After roasting, they are cooled, packaged, and ready for consumption.
Shell Removing
Makhana shell removal involves cracking open the outer shell to extract the edible seed. The seeds are carefully peeled using specialized tools to avoid damage. Once shelled, the seeds are cleaned, dried, and prepared for further processing or roasting.
Puffing
Makhana puffing involves heating the seeds at high temperatures, causing them to expand and become light and crunchy. The process enhances the texture and flavor of the seeds. After puffing, they are cooled and ready for packaging or seasoning.
Pacakaging
At the final stage, makhana is carefully cleaned and undergoes quality checks to remove any impurities. It is then packed in multi-layer, moisture-proof packaging to maintain freshness, ensure long shelf life, and provide optimal protection.
