                                Over 80% of the world's makhana production originates from Bihar, India. The raw form of makhana, often a surprise to consumers, is a hard, black, un-popped seed harvested from the aquatic Euryale ferox plant. This hard shell must undergo an intense and intricate process to become the light, puffy edible known as fox nuts.
