Protein-rich, perfectly roasted fox nuts — grown in the wetlands of Bihar, roasted the traditional way, with nothing added.
A crop that belongs to Bihar.
Makhana isn't grown in fields — it's harvested from the still ponds and wetlands of North Bihar's Mithila region, where farmers have cultivated the prickly water lily for generations, diving into the water by hand to gather its seeds before they're sun-dried, roasted, and popped into the crunchy fox nuts you know.
Bihar produces roughly 85–90% of India's entire makhana output — and in 2022, "Mithila Makhana" earned a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, formally recognising it as a product tied to this specific soil and water.
For us at Tohar, that's not a distant statistic — it's the same Bihar we call home. Makhana carries the same values every jar and pouch of ours does: patience, tradition, and a refusal to shortcut what takes time to do right.
General footage of the traditional Mithila harvesting process — not Tohar's own farm, but the same regional tradition our makhana comes from.
