FOXNUTS (MAKHANA)
- Makhanas, also called fox nuts, or lotus seeds, come from a plant called Euryale Fox which grows in the stagnant water of wetlands or ponds in Eastern Asia.
- They have been used in Chinese medicine since 3000 years and find an important place in the science of Ayurveda too.
- They are low in cholesterol, fat and sodium. This makes them an ideal snack to satiate those in-between meal hunger pangs.
- They are beneficial to those suffering from high blood pressure, heart diseases and obesity due to their high magnesium and low sodium content.
- An anti-ageing enzyme in these seeds is said to help repair damaged proteins.
