When it comes to nurturing both mother and baby during pregnancy and beyond, nature offers some incredible gifts. Among these treasures is makhana (fox nuts or lotus seeds), a versatile superfood that supports wellness at every stage of motherhood. At Vitika Foods, we believe that the journey of motherhood deserves only the finest nutrition, which is why we’re passionate about bringing premium-quality makhana to your family.
The Makhana Magic for Mothers
Pregnancy and postpartum recovery are times when nutrition takes center stage. Makhana, with its impressive nutritional profile, emerges as a perfect companion during this beautiful journey:
- Rich in calcium and magnesium – essential for bone health and muscle function
- Low glycemic index – helps maintain stable blood sugar levels
- High in protein – supports tissue repair and growth
- Naturally low in sodium – ideal for managing pregnancy-related water retention
- Abundant in antioxidants – protects cells from oxidative stress
Many mothers find that regular, gentle exercise combined with nutrient-dense foods like makhana creates the perfect balance for a healthy pregnancy. A daily walk followed by a handful of Vitika Foods’ Roasted Makhana can be just what your body needs!
Simple Movement for Expectant Mothers
Exercise during pregnancy doesn’t need to be intense to be effective. Here are some gentle activities that pair beautifully with a makhana-rich diet:
- Prenatal yoga – improves flexibility and prepares the body for delivery
- Swimming – provides resistance without impact on joints
- Walking – boosts circulation and mood
- Pelvic floor exercises – strengthens crucial muscles for birth and recovery
After your movement session, refuel with our specially curated makhana recipes below!

Baby’s First Makhana Adventures
As your little one begins their solid food journey, makhana can be one of the safest and most nutritious introductions:
Makhana Porridge for Growing Babies
Perfect for babies 8+ months
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Vitika Foods Premium Makhana
- 1 cup milk (breast milk, formula, or appropriate milk alternative)
- 1/2 ripe banana (optional for sweetness)
Method: Grind makhana into a fine powder. In a small pot, warm the milk. Add the makhana powder, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reaches a porridge-like consistency. For older babies, mashed banana can be added for flavor and additional nutrients. Allow to cool completely before serving.
Makhana Finger Food
For little explorers 10+ months
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Vitika Foods Premium Makhana
- 1 teaspoon ghee
Method: Heat ghee in a pan and add makhana. Roast until they become slightly soft but still hold their shape (not completely crisp). This texture makes them easy for little hands to hold and for developing gums to manage. Allow to cool completely before offering to your baby.
