Makhana, also known as Gorgon Nut, is cultivated in India, Korea, Japan, and Russia. It is derived from lotus seeds.

Makhana is a high-value product grown commercially exclusively in Bihar and areas of eastern India. It is also cultivated naturally in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Jammu and Kashmir, Tripura, and Manipur.
Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, is a famous Indian snack and ingredient. It is formed from the seeds of the lotus flower, which thrives in ponds and lakes with stagnant water. Makhana has been consumed in India for millennia and is highly valued for its nutritional properties. It is high in protein, fiber, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. It is also low in fat and calories, making it a healthy snack option. The seeds of the lotus plant are gathered and then dried, roasted, or popped to enhance their flavor and texture. The seed's outer shell is removed, revealing a tiny, white, and crunchy kernel inside. Makhana has a crisp and airy texture that reminds me of popcorn, as well as a mild, nutty flavour. Makhana is a popular snack on its own, either roasted or spiced with spices such as salt, pepper, or chaat masala. It may also be used in a variety of cuisines such as curries, sweets and kheer (a classic Indian rice pudding). It has grown in popularity as a nutritious and guilt-free snack option due to its health advantages and adaptability. It is frequently advised for those leading a healthy lifestyle.
In conclusion, Makhana is a food that made from lotus seeds that is wholesome and filling. People who are concerned about their health love it because of its light and crisp texture and numerous health benefits.

Bihar produces over 85% of India's makhana, with northern Bihar being agro-climatically suitable for cultivation. The ICAR estimates a 15000 Ha area, yielding 1,20,000 MT of seeds and 40,000 MT of makhana 5 pop. The production value is Rs 250 Crore at farmers' end and Rs 550 Crore at traders' level.
Processing of Makhana / Fox Nuts
1. Makhana processing involves sun-drying seeds, storing them in water tanks, and categorizing them into 5-7 grades. Nuts are heated in an earthen pitcher or cast-iron pan and then stored for tempering in baskets or pots for 45-72 hours. This process is labor-intensive and time-consuming, involving human drudgery.
2. Makhana processing involves roasting and popping nuts at 290–340 °C. After a crackling sound, 5-7 roasted seeds are scooped and hammered, resulting in an expanded makhana. The kernel is then polished and packed in gunny bags, with a yield ranging from 30–35% based on raw nut weight.
Makhana seeds are stored in houses on pucca floors, with water regularly sprinkled. The average storage duration is 25 days. Some farmers store them in cemented water tanks for processing.
Makhana pop can be stored for up to a year under proper conditions. Farmers store it in jute bags and raised wooden platforms, with rats and rodents damaging it 5-10%. The surplus is sold to local wholesalers, who store it for price advantage in off-season. Each wholesaler has its own godown, varying in capacity based on trader handling ability.
Makhana is packed in plastic bags for retail marketing, but the process is manual and unskilled, resulting in no quality assurance or hygienic and nutritional quality assurance. Local wholesalers use hand-operated machines for sealing, affecting market acceptability for export. Makhana is also packed in gunny bags weighing 8 kg, 10 kg, and 12 kg, depending on quality.
