Rani Jumbo Phool Makhana (Fox Nut/Popped Lotus Seed) Plain Raw Uncooked 3.5oz (100g) ~ All Natural | Vegan | No Colors | Gluten Friendly | NON-GMO | Indian Origin

I saw some reviews that stated they were stale, however the product title clearly states they are uncooked so I took my chances. I first tried Fox nuts from the little seasoned packets you can get at Whole Foods for like $6. I thought they tasted good and was hoping for a more economical way to eat them, so I bought these. Out of the container, yes they tasted “stale” with more of a spongy texture, however I still kept in mind the title said uncooked so I figure there has to be another step. I took some and tossed it with a little truffle oil, salt, and rosemary, and popped it in the air fryer. My first attempt I had the temperature too high at 350° F however lowering down to about 250° for 5 minutes and they are perfectly crispy don’t taste stale at all. Would highly recommend!

Soo 👍

Fresh and well prepared and well packed and delivered Very tasty once roasted

Tasty after cooking and seasoning.

Just had fox nuts for the first time at a friends house. Just ordered these. They were not even as tasty as packing peanuts. Such a huge disappointment. And I was so embarrassed meeting some new friends, and this is what I brought. Mortified and humiliated.

This is a very healthy snack to eat

I’ve never had these before the really taste like unsalted popcorn

my mom used to give us this during my childhood and occasionally in different sweets. I and my siblings always loved it with other nuts and dry fruits. Now I have been using it for my little kiddo and he loves it. I tried from different brands and the local stores but found this one tasteful and soft and fresh. Highly recommended.

Delicious and healthy snack!!

I’ve purchased the Rani Jumbo Phool Makhana multiple times, and while I truly enjoy them, I do find them a bit on the expensive side. The packaging is impressive and keeps the product fresh, but I think there’s room for cost-cutting here that could help lower the price. These popped lotus seeds have a delightful crunch and a light, airy texture, making them a perfect snacking option. They’re a fantastic alternative to traditional chips and snacks. The flavor is subtle yet pleasant, allowing for versatile use; I enjoyed them plain, but they would be excellent tossed in a salad or used as a topping for soups. For those who prefer bolder flavors, a bit more seasoning would elevate the experience. Overall, Rani Jumbo Phool Makhana is a healthy and tasty snack that I’ll definitely continue to buy if they reduce the price.

Great

as described.

I tasted a few and they were stale. Tastes like old pop corn that left out. It seems like thay are way past the best before and expiration date. Please avoid!!
