Madhuca or buttercup seeds are conventionally used to obtain mahua butter, which is of wide industrial importance. It is used as a substitute for cocoa butter in cosmetics and pharmacies, as cooking oil, for making chocolates and in adulteration of ghee Flour obtained from mahua seeds works as a seasonal substitute of cereal grains to make rotis and puris Since mahua seeds are rich in fats, research studies have indicated their ability to work as a biofuel Due to the presence of high amount of sugars, mahua flower is added as a sweetening agent in traditional Indian desserts such as barfi, kheer, halwa, and meethi pun. They are used for the production of cheap liquor and as a cattle feed, which helps to improve the health of cattle and increase milk production
