Makhana Project — Golden Ghee Popped Water Lily Seeds
Ancient Seed. Sacred Ghee. Spice Route in Every Bite.
This is makhana at its most intentional. We start with ancient popped water lily seeds from the storied farms of Tirhutwala in Bihar, India, then coat them in Ancient Organics Ghee — made from the milk of pasture-raised cows and revered in Ayurvedic tradition for centuries.
Then comes the magic: Diaspora Co.'s Popcorn Seasoning — a masterfully crafted blend of single-origin spices sourced directly from farmers across South Asia. Turmeric, cumin, chilli, fennel, and more, each with a name and a farm behind it. Finished with a pinch of Jacobsen Salt for that perfect savory close.
Every ingredient in this bag has a story, a source, and a farmer behind it. That's the Makhana Project promise.
