Foxnuts

Foxnuts, also known as lotus seeds or makhana, are small, round seeds from the lotus plant. Originating from Asia, they're prized for their nutritional value and medicinal properties. With a crisp texture and nutty flavor, they're rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, yet low in calories and fat. In traditional medicine, they're believed to cool the body and benefit conditions like inflammation and high blood pressure. Foxnuts are gluten-free, making them suitable for those with sensitivities. They're used in various dishes, from curries to desserts, adding crunch and nutrition to culinary creations.
