Foxnuts
Makhana (foxnuts) in five grades — Swarna, Barhi, Japanese, China and Dark — for roasted snack and Ayurvedic-product buyers.
Foxnuts (makhana) grading is mostly about puff size and whiteness: Swarna and Barhi are the premium whole-puff grades snack manufacturers ask for by name; Japanese, China and Dark grades run smaller or less uniform in color and suit bulk roasting or ingredient use rather than retail packs sold on appearance.
Demand for makhana has grown fast on the back of the roasted-snack and Ayurvedic-wellness categories — if you're entering that category for the first time, tell your trade desk contact the end format and we'll recommend the right grade rather than default you to the most expensive one.
