Makhana Project — Three Basil Salt Popped Water Lily Seeds

Three Basils. One Ranch. An Ancient Seed Reimagined.

Grown in the lily ponds of Bihar, India, our popped water lily seeds transform an ancient seed into a modern, craveable snack. Known locally as makhana and harvested for generations, these light, nutty gems have long been cherished in Ayurveda for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich qualities.

We roast and handcraft our makhana in small batches, seasoning them with thoughtfully sourced local ingredients of the highest quality. We honor both centuries of tradition and the rich Texas soil. We've taken this ancient seed and given it a home-grown twist.

Our Three Basil Salt makhana is seasoned with three distinct basil varieties — fragrant Tulsi, classic Genovese, and vibrant Purple Basil — all grown right at Origin Ranch and blended with a touch of Baja Gold sea salt. The result is an herbaceous, garden-fresh snack that honors both centuries of tradition and the rich Texas soil it comes from.
