Makhane or foxnuts are superfoods. This has been used as a snack since centuries. You will be surprised to know that Chinese use foxnuts as medicines. I personally love snacking Makhane. These are healthy and can make one feel fuller.
If you follow me on my social media, you must be knowing that I am a workaholic. I do not glorify it but it is my lifestyle and I am not even complaining. I am often on the go for my book research work, travel assignments, workshops and events.
For this, I always prefer carrying Makhane with me. My current favourites are Farmley Makhane. If you research a bit on web or talk to a dietician, you will know that makhane are only good for you if you either eat it raw or roasted; fried Makhane are not THAT healthy. This is where Farmley makhane gets a brownie point. They are roasted not fried and come in 5 flavours – Peri Peri, Cream & Onion, Himalayan Salt, Tangy Tomato & Minty Pudina. I highly recommend you to try these!
Let me now share the 8 reasons to eat Makhane everyday:
- Makhane have really high protein content. This is reason why these makes one feel fuller after munching handful of these. I also prefer eating Makhane during our fasts as it provides energy that might last the whole day!
- Foxnuts or Makhane are an amazing anti-ageing food as they contain antioxidants in abundance. Researchers have proved that eating handful of Makhane every day can make you look younger and make your skin glow like a baby.
- Makhane are also high in fibre. This is helped in getting the digestive process sorted as it prevents constipation!
- Makhane are also a great detoxifying agent making it great to include in your diet. These aid in flushing out toxins from the body with ease.
- One of the most interesting fact about foxnuts or Makhane is that despite they are gluten-free, they are still high in protein and carbohydrate content. This means, if you are trying to lose weight, you must include Makhane in your diet program.
- Another important factor that makes Makhane a good option for those who are on a weight-loss spree, is these are low in sodium and high in potassium. This combination speeds up the weight loss process.
- The above-mentioned combination is also great for people suffering from hypertension. The potassium brings down the blood pressure levels and sodium balance it well.
