Premium fox nuts, exported the way a global buyer expects.
New Fox Nourish sources Phool Makhana directly from the pond farmers of Mithila and ships it — graded by traditional Suta size, lab-tested and fully documented — from Kolkata Port to importers and retail brands worldwide, through two focused brands: MakhanaG for bulk B2B export and Makhanova for retail roasted & flavoured packs.
A crop that only grows where the water is right.
Phool Makhana comes from the seed of Euryale ferox, an aquatic plant that thrives in the shallow ponds of Mithila — the Darbhanga, Madhubani, Purnia and Katihar belt of Bihar, which together grow the majority of the world's makhana, and which gave India the Madhubani painting tradition this brand's visual identity draws from.
New Fox Nourish works directly with pond-owning farmers and harvester cooperatives across this belt. We take the raw seed after monsoon harvest and manage grading, roasting and export in-house — under two brands built for two different buyers: MakhanaG for importers and manufacturers buying in bulk, and Makhanova for retailers who want a shelf-ready roasted pack.
"Buyers don't just want a snack ingredient. They want to know who grew it, and whether the next container will match the sample." SOURCING PHILOSOPHY, NEW FOX NOURISH
What happens between the pond and the pallet.
A quick look at harvesting and processing before the seed ever reaches grading.
Hand harvesting
Trained harvesters pole small boats across the pond and lift ripe pods by hand through the monsoon season.
Sun drying
Harvested seed is spread on mats to dry naturally before it moves to roasting — the step that fixes moisture content.
Roasting & popping
Pan-roasted over controlled heat until each seed pops — the origin of the puffed makhana buyers recognise.
Grading by Suta
Popped seed is sorted into 4, 5, 6+ and 7+ Suta piles by size before it's routed to the right brand and buyer.
One pond, two brands, every step tracked.
Every export batch moves through the same controlled sequence — then splits toward bulk export or retail packing, depending on the brand it's headed for.
