What is makhana?

Makhana (fox nuts/lotus seeds) is a naturally light seed, roasted here and coated in rich Belgian chocolate for a crunchy, indulgent treat.

Is this a healthy or a treat snack?

It's positioned as a treat/dessert-style snack rather than a functional health snack — it's higher in sugar and lower in protein than Sattviko's high-protein savory makhana range.

Is it gluten-free?

Yes, it's labeled gluten-free.

How much protein does it have?

4.3g of protein per 100g — this variant is chocolate-and-treat focused rather than protein-fortified like Sattviko's other makhana lines.

What are the ingredients?

Sugar, Makhana (13%), Liquid Glucose, Milk Solids, Sesame Seeds (3%), Edible Common Salt, Cocoa Solids, Baking Soda (INS 500(ii)), Edible Vegetable Fat (Hydrogenated), Milk Solids, Soy Lecithin (INS 322(i)), Natural Food Colour (INS 150c), Nature-Identical Flavouring Substances.

Is it vegetarian?

Does it contain hydrogenated fat?

Are there any artificial preservatives?

No added artificial preservatives. Note it does contain a natural food colour (INS 150c, caramel colour), which is a permitted natural colourant.

How much sugar does it have?

57.9g total sugars per 100g (56.5g added, 23% RDA per serve) — significantly sweeter than Sattviko's savory or high-protein makhana flavors, in line with its treat positioning.

What's the pack size?

Net weight is 42g, with a serving size of 20g (about 2 servings per pack).

How should I store it?

Does it have trans fat?
