Yes, makhana is a superfood but not every packet sold out there is good for your health. Here's what you should be careful of:

Not everything sold as makhana in the market helps your body. The best quality makhana should have a white colour, should be whole and round in shape.

Certified organic makhanas are better than brands that add preservatives and additives.

Ensure your makhana is free of pesticides and contaminants. Source it from credible producers if you want complete health benefits.

If you are buying packaged makhana, always buy the ones with longer expiry dates and proper, airtight packets.

Do not store makhanas in the refrigerator, as they can become soggy.
