Makhana has been widely used in traditional oriental medicine to cure various diseases, including kidney problems, chronic diarrhoea, and hypofunction of the spleen. Moreover, it is fast emerging as a superfood globally owing to its rich medicinal values and mineral contents. Makhanas are rich in nutrients and are a highly potent source of manganese, potassium, magnesium, thiamine, protein, and phosphorus. Roasted makhanas are an excellent teatime snack and a perfect tiffin option for kids. In India, people also make dishes such as kheer, curry, raita, and cutlets using makhanas.
