Did you know about Makhana, the superfood from Bihar that is now gaining global recognition? Also known as fox nut or Euryale ferox, it's a traditional aquatic crop primarily from Bihar's Mithilanchal region. India produces over 90% of the world's Makhana!

It received a GI tag in 2022 as "Mithila Makhana" and is packed with protein, calcium, and antioxidants, and is low in fat. Promoted under government schemes like ODOP and PM-FME, Makhana has strong export potential, aligning with the "Vocal for Local" initiative.
