Spicy World Phool Makhana (Fox Nut/Popped Lotus Root Seed/Popped Water Lily Seeds) 400g (14oz) ~ Plain Raw Uncooked | ~ All Natural | Vegan | No Colors | Indian (14 Ounce)

It takes a bit of practice to get this just right. This product must be stirred fried for about 3-4 minutes in oil (and with your choice of seasonings...such as salt, pepper, chili powder, or whatever else). If it is stir-fried for too long, it will burn badly, and if it is not stir-fried long enough, it is kind of tasteless. If it is done just right, you will have a great popcorn-like treat...but better!

These tasted like stale cigarettes. Was so excited to try them after seeing a short documentary on YouTube about fox nuts. But these were quite bad. Like confusingly bad. I checked the expiration date and it was 2025, so they weren’t stale. Can’t imagine how sautéing them with spices would cover up the cigarette flavor. Genuinely confused about the fuss over these.

Spray lightly with ghee cooking spray then bake at 350 for 8 mins… perfect!

Kind of like popcorn but not like popcorn. But I do like it. Just didn't have any spicy flavor that I personally could taste. That's why I gave it a 4 not a 5, because it doesn't taste any different to me than the regular non spicy one

My whole family now loves popped lotus seeds. We all eat them instead of popcorn. Incredible how many health benefits are packed in each seed. It has calcium, antioxidants, and may improve blood sugar management. Has almost no calories and even my grandchildren and dog loves them when they get one that dropped.

It is great and no complaints. Very reasonably priced

As the title implies, this was not worth the purchase. Perhaps if it was freshly popped seeds, then yes, but overall it lacked flavor and was bland.

I used these in the Panjeeri I made.
