100 g of Makhana Extra Bold provides about 358 kcal, with 8.7 g protein, 0.5 g fat and 79.8 g carbohydrate, according to NIFTEM PMFME makhana handbook, Table 1.1 (popped makhana). A 30 g handful is therefore about 107 kcal. These are reference values for the food, not a lab test of this batch.

Crude fibre is not the same measure as dietary fibre. A 200 g pack holds about 716 kcal in total.

For a 30 g handful, scale each row by 0.3: 2.6 g protein and 0.1 g fat. Weigh 30 g once on a kitchen scale and look at it, because a handful by eye is usually larger.

Yes, as long as it stays plain. Popped makhana has 0.5 g fat per 100 g in the NIFTEM handbook, and ICMR-NIN's Dietary Guidelines for Indians ask people to minimise foods high in fat, sugar and salt and to prefer fresh, minimally processed foods (Guideline 15).

The fat and salt arrive in the pan. Guideline 15 warns that even home-made food becomes unhealthy when cooked with a lot of fat, sugar or salt, and Guideline 11 caps added salt at 5 g a day. Dry-roast first, then add a little ghee and salt at the end, and count that salt toward the 5 g.

A 30 g bowl of plain popped makhana is about 107 kcal. One 200 g pack is about 7 such bowls, roughly a week of one bowl a day.

Makhana Extra Bold costs ₹399 for 200 g, or ₹199.50 per 100 g at the price on this page. That is ₹100 (20%) below the ₹499 MRP. Delivery is free once the goods in your order reach ₹2,000, which takes 6 packs of this size.

Below ₹2,000, one 200 g pack is charged by delivery zone, measured from our dispatch pincode 461001. Each figure in the table includes 18% GST and is the prepaid price.

Cash on delivery adds 1.8% of the order value, with a ₹30 minimum before GST. One pack delivered prepaid to Delhi therefore costs ₹447 in total, or ₹223.50 per 100 g.

6+ suta is a size grade, not a marketing word: makhana is graded by popped-kernel diameter in suta, and 6+ is roughly 24 mm and up, the largest routine grade. NutriBlend prints the grade on the pack, so the claim can be checked at home in a few minutes with simple kitchen tools.

Measure a few pops across the widest point; NIFTEM’s Grade 1 is fully expanded makhana of 15 mm or more. The grade is fixed at sorting, before packing, and no amount of roasting or storage can raise it later. If the count or the measurement disagrees with the grade on the pack, the pack is not that grade, whoever sold it.

Grade matters for texture. A larger pop is a more complete pop, so it crisps all the way through instead of staying chewy. This pack comes from India, and the story above explains why that origin was chosen.

Store Makhana Extra Bold in an airtight jar in a cool, dark cupboard, never the fridge. NutriBlend seals each 200 g pack the day it is packed and dispatches it within 24 hours, so storage time starts close to the day it reaches you. Once opened, close it tightly after every use.

Heat, light, air and humidity are what shorten shelf life. Keep the pack closed between uses, away from the stove, and use a dry spoon. If it turns soft, 5 minutes in a dry pan restores it completely; if it smells stale or musty, or shows any mould, throw it away rather than roasting it.

At 30 g a day, one 200 g pack lasts about 7 days. Write the opening date on the pack, and if you cook in larger amounts, buy the size you will finish rather than the one that looks cheaper per gram.
