About Us
At MithilaNuts, we are proud stewards of Mithila's timeless culinary legacy, specializing in the finest makhana—nature's own superfood straight from the serene ponds of Bihar's Mithila region. Founded with a deep-rooted passion for tradition and wellness, our brand celebrates the humble fox nut (Euryale ferox), lovingly known as "Makhan" in our homeland, which has nourished generations as one of the three cultural icons of Mithila: the pond, the fish, and the makhana.
Born from the misty floodplains where these aquatic seeds flourish, MithilaNuts was established to bring the pure, unadulterated essence of Mithila makhana to health-conscious palates worldwide. We source our phool makhana directly from artisanal farmers in districts like Darbhanga and Madhubani, where over 90% of India's makhana is hand-harvested through time-honored methods—diving into shallow waters to gather the prickly pods, then popping them into their signature light, crunchy form.
In an era where superfoods dominate global trends, our makhana stands out: low in calories, high in protein, and bursting with antioxidants that support everything from blood sugar balance to kidney health.
What sets MithilaNuts apart is our commitment to purity and innovation. Every batch is hygienically processed without additives, preserving the mild, nutty flavor that makes makhana a versatile delight—whether roasted with spices for a guilt-free snack, simmered into creamy kheer, or tossed into chivda for a festive crunch.We blend ancient wisdom with modern standards, supporting sustainable cultivation that empowers local communities and aligns with initiatives like the proposed Makhana Board to boost production and global reach.
Join us in savoring the taste of Mithila's heritage—one popped seed at a time. At MithilaNuts, we're not just selling makhana; we're sharing a story of resilience, flavor, and well-being that connects you to the heart of India.
