The Classic Savory-Tangy Snack Reimagined
PHOOL MAKHANA TANGY TOMATO offers the universally popular flavor profile of sweet, sun-ripened tomatoes balanced with tangy fruit acids, mild roasted cumin, and subtle warming spices. Unlike heavy processed snacks that rely on synthetic tomato flavorings and excessive sugar, Krishi Global uses spray-dried tomato solids and natural culinary seasonings to coat every roasted kernel. The result is a vibrant, balanced flavor that appeals across diverse consumer demographics from school-aged snackers to health-conscious professionals.
Sourced from the GI-Tagged Mithila Wetland Belt
Every batch of PHOOL MAKHANA TANGY TOMATO begins with raw fox nuts sourced directly from farming cooperatives in the Mithila region of Bihar, India. Mithila holds a protected Geographical Indication (GI) tag, recognizing its ideal wetland ecosystem, pristine freshwater bodies, and multi-generational harvesting expertise. These seeds yield kernels characterized by their expansive sizing, bright white interior, and light, porous cellular structure that holds tomato seasonings uniformly without losing crispness. Direct sourcing ensures harvest freshness, fair farm-gate pricing, and complete batch traceability.
Precision Hot-Air Roasting (100% Non-Fried)
To ensure compliance with clean-label and healthy dietary guidelines, Krishi Global manufactures makhana without immersion oil frying:
-
Convection Dry Roasting: Continuous hot-air circulation toasts raw kernels to their core, driving internal moisture below 3.5% for an enduring crunch.
-
Micro-Mist Oil Application: A fine mist of cold-pressed, food-grade plant oil is applied solely to bind the micro-milled tomato powder and spices to the kernel surface.
-
Zero Trans Fats & Low Saturated Fats: Delivers the crispy bite of commercial chips while eliminating trans fats, cholesterol, and empty calories.

High Plant-Based Protein: Supplies clean, bioavailable amino acids supporting muscle repair and sustained daily energy.

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does PHOOL MAKHANA TANGY TOMATO contain artificial red food coloring?
A: No. Krishi Global uses only natural, spray-dried tomato powder and natural paprika extract for color. We strictly prohibit synthetic food colorings such as Red 40 (Allura Red) or artificial dyes.
Q: Is PHOOL MAKHANA TANGY TOMATO suitable for vegan diets?
A: Yes. The tangy tomato seasoning blend is 100% plant-based and contains no dairy solids, whey powder, animal enzymes, or honey, making it suitable for strict vegan consumers.
Q: How does Krishi Global ensure the tomato coating does not turn sticky during sea transit?

A: We provide flexible MOQs. For standard pouches with custom label application, MOQs are accessible for emerging brands, while fully customized printed packaging runs have volume-based minimums.
