                                Makhana, also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, is a staple in Indian cuisine and a popular gluten-free snack. This nutrient-rich food comes from the Euryale fox plant and can be consumed in both its raw and cooked forms, though their properties and culinary uses differ significantly.
