Our journey

From Humble Beginnings to Trusted Legacy

Beginning… Late Ram Chandra Sah, our beloved grandfather (fondly known as Makhana Wala) started cropping and selling Makhana (Fox Nut) when hardly few people knew about this crop.

By 1960, we owned ponds in the Mithila region of Bihar to crop seed and trade the raw makhana in wholesale market – used in Indian festivals.

Second generation continued to grow the Awareness of Makhana beyond the use in Indian Festivals.

Maruti Makhana With the opportunity of Makhana being a big ‘Healthy Snack’ in India and Overseas we set up scalable production and selling branded Raw Makhana in retail chains under Maruti Makhana.

3rd Generation Alpana Jayant Sahne (Daughter of Sri Bijay Kumar Sah) launched roasted and flavoured healthy Fox Nut snacks in India and for Export.

Health & Nutrition

Fueling Wellness with Every Bite

Lotus Seed/ Fox nut or Makhana is low in fat and high in carbohydrates which makes it nutritionally distinct from other nuts. Makhanas are rich in protein, carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron and zinc. All these nutrients have given this nut a reputed position in Indian recipes especially during fasting. It is a fully organic, non-cereal food that is normally grown in stagnant water and is better than dry fruits like almonds, walnuts, coconut and cashews in terms of sugar, protein, ascorbic acid and phenol content. A balanced intake of Makhana regulates blood pressure, relieves numbness, and helps the respiratory system, veins and digestion. It also contains 12% of protein, thus adding to its benefits, especially for vegetarians.

It helps in cardiac protection.
