When you open a pack of Sunfarm Organics Makhana, you’re not just getting a snack — you’re getting a story.
A story that begins in the lush ponds of Bihar and travels through our state-of-the-art makhana processing plant, where tradition meets technology to deliver a product that’s pure, crunchy, and full of goodness.
Let’s take you behind the scenes and show you how organic makhana makes its journey from farm to factory.
Makhana Farming in Bihar — Where It All Begins
Our Makhana journey starts in the wetlands of Bihar, India — the heartland of fox nut cultivation. We work closely with local farmers who use sustainable farming methods to grow Makhana without harmful chemicals.
We ensure:
- Chemical-free farming for safer food.
- Training programs to improve yields and income.
- Respect for the aquatic ecosystem where Makhana grows naturally.
Only the healthiest seeds, grown with care, make it to the next stage.
Harvesting & Selecting the Finest Makhana Seeds
After months of care, the pods are collected and sun-dried. Skilled workers handpick the best raw makhana seeds, separating them from broken or underdeveloped ones.
Our quality control checks at this stage include:
- Testing moisture content to ensure long shelf life.
- Removing impurities early on.
- Assigning batch codes for traceability from farm to packet.
The Popping Process — From Seed to Pearl
This is the heart of the makhana production process. The dried seeds are roasted at controlled temperatures, loosening the hard shell. Expert hands then pop them into the soft, white Makhana you know and love.
Why our popping is special:
- Temperature precision protects nutrients.
- Batch roasting ensures even crunchiness.
- Minimal handling to maintain hygiene.
Grading — Sorting by Size for Consistency
Not all Makhana is created equal. Our makhana grading machine sorts the popped seeds into various sizes for better roasting, uniform texture, and premium appearance.
Benefits of grading:
- Better roasting and flavor.
- Visually appealing product.
- Efficient, size-specific packaging.
Inspection — The Human Eye for Perfection
Even after machine sorting, our trained staff manually inspect Makhana to remove any that don’t meet Sunfarm Organics’ quality standards.
We check for:
- Discoloration.
- Broken or misshapen pieces.
- Any foreign particles.
Optical Sorting — Technology Meets Hygiene
For the final touch, our optical sorting machines scan each pearl using high-speed cameras to detect even the smallest imperfections.
Why this matters:
- Ensures zero compromise on hygiene.
- Maintains consistent product quality.
- Guarantees that only the finest Makhana reaches you.
Hygienic Packaging — Freshness Sealed In
The last step in the makhana manufacturing process is packaging. We use food-grade, airtight packs, sealed in a fully sanitized environment.
Our packaging features:
- Nitrogen flushing to lock in crispness.
- Automated sealing to avoid human contact.
- Eco-friendly materials wherever possible.
Our Promise — Purity, Taste, and Trust
At Sunfarm Organics, Makhana is more than just a product — it’s our passion. From traditional makhana farming in Bihar to advanced factory processing, every step is designed to protect its natural goodness.
