Phool Makhana also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds, are a type of popped seed commonly used in Indian cuisine and traditional Ayurvedic practices. They have a light and crunchy texture, similar to popcorn but with a slightly different mouthfeel. These are a good source of protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and various minerals like magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Furthermore, the Phool Makhana is a versatile ingredient and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes and can also be used in curries, desserts, kheer (Indian rice pudding), or ground into a fine powder to make a nutritious flour substitute for baking.
