Foxnuts, also known as lotus seeds or makhana, are the edible seeds of the lotus flower. They are low in calories, fat-free, and rich in protein, fiber, and essential minerals such as magnesium and phosphorus. Foxnuts have a crunchy texture and are commonly roasted or popped, then seasoned with spices like salt or pepper as a nutritious snack. They are also used in Indian cuisine to make desserts or added to savory dishes for their unique texture and nutritional benefits.
