Khao Better roasted makhana starts as the seed of Euryale ferox, a water lily farmed in the shallow ponds of north Bihar. The seed is harvested by hand, sun-dried, and popped with dry heat until it puffs into a light white kernel.
Graded seed goes into a rotary drum and is dry-roasted at around 140°C until it turns brittle enough to shatter between your teeth. It is then tumbled with cold-pressed sunflower oil and ground spices before being nitrogen-flushed and sealed.
