Makhana Nutrition: Calories, Protein & Full 100g Breakdown
Before adding any food to your routine, look at the numbers. Here is the complete makhana nutrition profile – calories, protein, carbs and micronutrients per 100g and per realistic serving – explained without jargon.
Macros per 100g (plain, dry-roasted)
| Nutrient | Per 100g | Per 30g serving |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | ~347 kcal | ~104 kcal |
| Protein | ~9.7 g | ~2.9 g |
| Carbohydrates | ~76 g | ~23 g |
| Fat | ~0.1 g | negligible |
| Fibre | ~14 g | ~4.2 g |
Values are indicative averages for plain fox nuts; flavoured versions vary slightly. See packs for exact per-batch values, or browse our Nutrition Facts Database.
What a real serving looks like
30g is roughly two generous handfuls or one small bowl. At ~104 kcal with 3g protein and 4g fibre, it is one of the most filling 100-calorie snacks available in India.
Micronutrients that matter
Makhana brings meaningful amounts of magnesium (muscle and nerve function), potassium (blood pressure), calcium and phosphorus (bones) and iron. It is also naturally gluten-free and very low in sodium – you control the salt.
Makhana vs other snacks
Gram for gram, makhana has about a third of the fat of peanuts, none of the frying oil of chips, and more fibre than popcorn. That combination – protein + fibre + low fat – is what makes it special. Deep dive: 10 real benefits of makhana.
Who benefits most
Weight-watchers (see makhana for weight loss), diabetics needing low-GI snacks (with medical guidance), gym-goers, kids’ tiffins, and anyone doing long office hours. Start with Makhana Supreme if you want the biggest, crunchiest grade.
Numbers checked. Now taste why 5+ grade is different.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is makhana carb-heavy?
It is carb-dominant like all grains and seeds, but its fibre and protein slow digestion, giving a low glycemic response.
How many calories in ghee-roasted makhana?
Add roughly 40 kcal per teaspoon of ghee used. A lightly ghee-roasted 30g bowl is ~140-150 kcal.
Is makhana keto friendly?
Not strictly – it is too high in carbs for keto, but excellent for balanced and low-fat diets.
