Conscious Food Makhana – Peri-peri (65g)

Found in the miraculous lotus plant, makhana or fox nuts are packed with nutrients and make way for a healthy snack. They are lotus seeds sourced from the beds of ponds or rivers. Once manually harvested, they need to be air-dried and roasted before they can be consumed. To make them as delicious as they are healthy, we flavour these makhanas with the tanginess of some peri-peri spice. Full of natural ingredients, these makhanas make snacking a non-guilty pleasure!
