The seeds are harvested from the floating leaves of the prickly water lily plant. Historically, the process of popping the seeds was a labor-intensive art form, requiring precise heat control to ensure the hard shell cracked open to reveal the white puff inside. This traditional method preserves the nutritional integrity of the seed while rendering it edible. We honor this heritage by sourcing Makhana that is processed using methods that maintain its natural purity and crunch.
