Makhana, also called fox nut, is gaining worldwide recognition as a superfood with immense potential. Traditionally rooted in Indian culture, especially in Bihar, which produces 90% of the global supply, Makhana is transforming from a local snack to a booming industry. Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath highlighted its growing appeal, stating on X, “Maybe room here to build a huge brand, an Indian brand that sells to the world. Personally, I’m hooked on Makhana.”
