MakhanaFox Nut

The light, modern superfood snack

Makhana has moved from a regional ingredient to an international healthy-snacking staple, and demand now comes from brands building roasted, flavoured and clean-label snack ranges.

BestLark supplies graded makhana with attention to pop size, whiteness and crispness — the three attributes that determine how a finished snack looks and eats.

Key features

  • Graded by pop size for uniform finished product
  • Naturally light with a clean crisp bite
  • Low moisture for extended crispness
  • Ideal base for roasted and flavoured snack ranges
