Know your suta

Suta is how Mithila measures makhana. Bigger pops roast more evenly and look better in a gift box; mixed sizes are the best value for everyday cooking.

How our makhana reaches you
Makhana is one of the most hand-made foods in India. Each step happens in and around Darbhanga.
Harvest
Farmers gather the seeds by hand from the floor of shallow ponds.
Dry and roast
Seeds are sun-dried, then roasted in iron pans until they are ready to pop.
Pop and grade
Each hot seed is struck to pop it, then sieved into suta grades.
Pack fresh
We sort, check and seal it in nitrogen-flushed packs in Darbhanga.

FAQ

What is makhana?
Makhana, also called fox nut or phool makhana, is the popped seed of the Euryale ferox water lily. Most of India’s makhana grows in the ponds of Mithila in north Bihar. It is light and crunchy, and is eaten roasted, in kheer and curries, and during fasts.
What does “suta” mean?
Suta is the size measure makhana graders in Mithila have used for generations. A higher suta means bigger, rounder pops. Our bulk grades run from Classic (all sizes mixed) up to Raj Bhog (6 suta and above).
