Rooted in Bihar. Loved Globally.

FOXLYNUT was born from a simple belief — that India's most ancient superfood deserved a world-class brand.

Our Story

Bihar produces over 90% of the world's makhana, yet for decades this extraordinary ingredient remained hidden behind generic packaging and middlemen. We grew up watching farmers in Darbhanga and Samastipur harvest makhana by hand from lotus ponds — a craft passed down through generations — only to sell it for a fraction of its worth.

FOXLYNUT was founded by Gauhar Shams and Bipin with one mission: to take Bihar's finest makhana directly from farm to your hands, with zero compromise on quality. No middlemen. No artificial preservatives. No shortcuts.

Why Makhana?

Makhana — also known as fox nuts or lotus seeds — has been part of Indian culture for thousands of years. It is light, naturally gluten-free, high in protein, and low in calories. Yet most Indians still reach for chips and processed snacks. We're here to change that.

Every pack of FOXLYNUT is handpicked from trusted Bihar farms, carefully roasted (never fried), and packed fresh to preserve its natural goodness. Whether you choose our raw makhana or one of our bold roasted flavours, you're getting the real thing — nothing added, nothing hidden.

Our Mission

We exist to build a premium Indian snack brand that the world respects — one that is honest about its ingredients, proud of its roots, and committed to the farmers who make it possible. Every purchase directly supports makhana farming communities in Bihar.

Rooted in Bihar. Crafted with care. Made for the world.
