Makhana 1kg — The Smart Choice for Families and Regular Buyers
If makhana is a regular part of your household — as a fasting snack during Navratri, a daily healthy munch, or an ingredient in kheer, makhana sabzi, or ladoos — the Tapua Makhana 1kg pack is your most practical and economical choice. It contains the same large 5+ Suta (14mm+) GI-tagged Mithila makhana as our 100g and 200g packs, but at a significantly lower price per gram.
A Tapua Makhana 1kg pack provides approximately 33 standard snack servings (30g each) — more than a month of daily snacking for one person, or 2–3 weeks for a family.
What Does ‘5+ Suta’ Mean in Your Makhana 1kg?
Bihar’s makhana farmers use a traditional grading system called ‘Suta’ to classify fox nuts by kernel size. Understanding this helps you know exactly what you are buying:
- 4 Suta — standard grade (smaller kernels, 10–12mm)
- 5+ Suta — large grade (14mm+) — this pack
- 6+ Suta — extra-large/jumbo grade (18mm+) — our premium 1kg range
Our Makhana 1kg is 5+ Suta — the size preferred by most Indian households for snacking, kheer, and daily use. Each kernel is white, airy, uniformly sized, and delivers a satisfying crunch.
