Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is "Sut" in Makhana grading? "Sut" is a traditional unit of measurement used in the trade to denote the diameter size of the popped kernel. Higher Sut means larger size.
Q: Is your Makhana roasted or raw? We supply "Phool Makhana" which is the popped raw kernel. It needs to be roasted or cooked before consumption for best taste.
Q: Why is Makhana considered a superfood? It is low in calories, low in sodium, gluten-free, and has a low glycemic index, making it ideal for diabetics and weight watchers.
Q: Can you vacuum pack to reduce freight cost? Yes, vacuum packing compresses the product slightly and protects it from moisture, allowing more quantity per container.
