Foxnuts, also known as makhana or lotus seeds, are edible seeds harvested from the Euryale fox plant, commonly found in India and parts of Asia. They are widely consumed as a healthy snack due to their low calorie and high nutrient content, including proteins, fiber, and essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus. Foxnuts are often roasted and lightly seasoned, making them a crunchy, guilt-free alternative to processed snacks. In Ayurvedic and traditional medicine, they are valued for their potential benefits in managing blood sugar, improving heart health, and supporting kidney function. Their versatility also allows them to be used in both sweet and savory dishes.
