Makhanas (also known as lotus seeds or fox nuts) may be small, but they certainly pack a punch. They are prized for their nutritional value and are high in B vitamins, protein, and fiber, earning them superfood status. The seeds come from a type of water lily called Euryale ferox, which is predominantly grown in India. Due to changes to the cultivation process, more and more farmers are interested in planting the crop, so much so that it's taking over the fields in the northeast of the country.
