Our purest expression of the pearl. Roasted, air-puffed lotus seeds seasoned with nothing more than ancient Himalayan pink salt and a gentle turn of black pepper. Light, mineral, quietly moreish, a clean savory crunch with zero sugar and nothing to hide behind. This is makhana at its most honest.

Description

Not every great snack needs a long ingredient list. Our Himalayan Pink Salt & Black Pepper Makhana proves it.

We take roasted puffed lotus seeds, coat them lightly in rapeseed oil, and season them with mineralrich Himalayan pink salt and a hit of freshly cracked black pepper. That's it.

The result is a wonderfully light, crunchy snack with a clean, savoury flavor that lets the natural nuttiness of the lotus seed shine through. It's the kind of snack you can eat by the handful - crisp, moreish and free from the heaviness of fried crisps.

With 3.3g of fibre and 4.5g of plant protein per pack, and zero sugar, it's a simple, honest snack for people who like to keep things straightforward. Perfect on its own, brilliant as a crunchy topping, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Vegan. Non-GMO. No fuss, just crunch.

Ingredients & flavours

This is our most pared-back recipe, and that's the point. Roasted, puffed lotus seeds (makhana) provide a naturally light, crunchy base with a subtle nutty character.

A light coating of rapeseed oil helps the seasoning adhere and lends a pleasant mouthfeel.

The seasoning is deliberately minimal - Himalayan pink salt for a clean, mineral savories, and black pepper for gentle warmth and aroma. There's nothing to distract from the natural quality of the seed itself.

Clean and savory → subtle nuttiness → a gentle peppery warmth on the finish.

Sourcing

Sourcing

Our lotus seeds (makhana) are traditionally grown and hand-harvested from the wetlands of South Asia, then gently roasted and puffed.

The Himalayan pink salt is mined from ancient mineral deposits and prized for its distinctive color and clean flavor.

We use responsibly sourced rapeseed oil. Non-GMO.

FAQs

What does makhana taste like on its own?

Makhana has a mild, subtly nutty flavor and an incredibly light, crisp texture, a little like a cross between popcorn and a puffed rice cake, which is why simple salt
and pepper suits it so well.

Is it keto or low-carb friendly?

Lotus seeds are naturally carbohydrate-rich,
so this isn't a low-carb snack. It is, however, sugar-free and high in fibre, which many people find fits well into a balanced way of eating.

Why is there sometimes a white or pink speckle on the seeds?

That's the Himalayan pink salt and cracked black pepper seasoning. Natural color variation across seeds is normal for a minimally processed product.

Does this really have zero sugar?

Yes, the recipe contains no added sugar and the natural sugar content rounds to 0.0g per pack.

Is this snack suitable for children?

Yes, it's a light, savory, sugar-free snack that many families enjoy. As with any small, crunchy food, supervise young children while eating.
