Refreshing Regional Heritage Meets Modern Snacking
PHOOL MAKHANA PUDINA captures the classic culinary profile of Indian mint-spiced savories in a healthy, contemporary format. Krishi Global combines sun-dried, micro-ground mint leaves with black salt, cumin, and a delicate touch of dry mango powder (amchur) to deliver an authentic herbal punch. The crisp coolness of mint cuts through warm digestive spices, coating every roasted fox nut kernel evenly without masking its inherent nutty profile.
Certified GI-Tagged Mithila Origin
Every batch of PHOOL MAKHANA PUDINA begins at the source: the freshwater wetland farms of the Mithila region in Bihar, India. Mithila holds a protected Geographical Indication (GI) tag, recognizing its heritage of producing the world’s finest fox nuts. These water lily seeds are known for their expansive kernel diameter, bright white color, and superior expansion ratio upon roasting. Krishi Global sources directly from farming clusters, guaranteeing crop traceability, consistent grading, and ethical trade standards.
Precision Hot-Air Roasting (100% Non-Fried)
To meet the stringent nutritional standards of global health-conscious consumers, our processing avoids immersion frying:
-
Convection Dry Roasting: Kernels are gently toasted using hot-air circulation, driving internal moisture below 3.5% for an enduring, crisp bite.
-
Micro-Mist Oil Infusion: An ultra-light mist of refined, food-grade plant oil is applied solely to bind the micro-ground pudina and spice particles to the kernel surface.
-
Zero Trans Fats: Clean roasting ensures the product contains 0 g trans fats and minimal saturated fat per serving.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does PHOOL MAKHANA PUDINA contain artificial green food colors?
A: No. Krishi Global uses only 100% natural, dehydrated, and finely ground mint leaves along with pure herbal spices. The subtle greenish tint comes entirely from genuine mint foliage, with zero synthetic food dyes or artificial coloring agents.
Q: Is PHOOL MAKHANA PUDINA suitable for vegan diets?
A: Yes. The seasoning contains only plant-derived ingredients (mint, natural spices, salt, and vegetable oil). It contains no dairy solids, cheese powders, whey, or animal derivatives.
Q: How does the mint flavor remain fresh throughout export and storage?
A: Mint essential oils can oxidize when exposed to air and humidity. We protect our roasted kernels using multi-barrier metallized film pouches and nitrogen gas flushing, which expels oxygen and locks in volatile mint aromas for up to 12 months.
Q: Can Krishi Global adjust the spice and tanginess levels for international palates?
A: Yes. For custom private label and contract manufacturing orders, we can modify the formulation—such as increasing mint freshness, reducing chili heat, or lowering sodium—to suit the palate of your target regional market.
Q: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for private label PHOOL MAKHANA PUDINA?
A: We provide flexible MOQs depending on the packaging format. Standard unprinted pouches with customized branding labels carry low MOQs, while custom-printed rotogravure pouches have volume-based minimums.
Q: What shipping terms and documentation are provided for overseas buyers?
A: We support FOB, CFR, and CIF shipping terms from major Indian ports. Consignments are accompanied by a Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, and a NABL-accredited Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
