Popped makhana from the ponds of Mithila, cleaned and sorted by size, colour and quality before it is packed.
Every lot follows the same six steps at our Darbhanga facility. Grades are never mixed, and every product can be traced back to the pond it came from. Licences & registrations →
Bought from pond farmers in Darbhanga and nearby villages. Procurement lots are tested at NABL-accredited labs.
Machines remove husk, dust and stones, then grade every pop by size, from 4 to 6+ suta.
Every lot is checked by hand, so only the best pops go forward.
Our on-site QA/QC lab checks moisture and quality before packing.
Weighed into food-grade, nitrogen-flushed packaging, then sealed.
Every pack passes a metal detector, then ships across India and worldwide.
The makhana trade measures each pop by its diameter. Larger pops are rarer, crunchier and fetch a higher price, so careful grading is what lets a buyer compare like with like. Tap a size to see where it is usually used.
1 suta = ⅛ inch ≈ 3.2 mmGood makhana is natural white to cream. Small brown spots from the seed coat are natural and allowed. We sort out darkened, burnt and discoloured pops during cleaning.

Natural white to cream. Small natural brown spots from the seed coat are normal.
Not necessarily. Makhana is naturally white to cream. An unusually bright, chalky white can indicate bleaching or chemical treatment, so look for a natural colour with clean, crisp pops.
From 4 suta (about 12.7 mm) to 6+ suta (19 mm and above). Our Ma se Makhana range comes in four grades: Cooking, Pooja / Prasad, Large Pops Premium and Bulk. Export buyers can order any suta size to specification.
Coming soon. They will be made from 5 suta and larger pops, under our brands or yours. Planned flavours include ghee roasted classic, pink salt and pepper, peri peri, pudina, cheese and herbs, and tangy tomato.
Retail pouches are nitrogen-flushed to keep makhana crisp. Packs run from 100 g up to any bulk quantity (e.g. 5 tonnes), bulk is packed in food-grade packaging, and export orders are packed in cartons to the buyer’s specification. Shelf life is 8 to 12 months depending on product and packaging.
