Quality & Grading Standards.
Makhana comes in different sizes and quality grades suited to different requirements. Explore available suta sizes, product characteristics and supply options before requesting a quote.
Understanding the "Suta" Measurement
In the traditional Indian makhana markets of North Bihar, popped fox nuts are classified by Suta—a benchmark unit of diameter measurement. A higher suta number corresponds to a larger puffed kernel diameter and higher volumetric expansion.
Crunchira maintains transparent, unmixed grading so buyers receive the exact sizing specification requested for their packaging or processing lines.
Tailored for modern FMCG retail packaging, gift hampers, and high-volume roasting lines.

Our 4 Pillars of Quality Control
Strict Suta Grading
Sizing is verified using mechanical sieving and manual grading trays to prevent mixed-lot discrepancies.
Sub-8% Moisture Control
Critical for shelf longevity and crisp snap. Improperly dried makhana becomes chewy; we ensure precision moisture retention.
Destoned & Dedusted
Every batch undergoes mechanical and pneumatic cleaning to eliminate unpopped hard black shells and dust.
Unadulterated Processing
Free of synthetic bleaching agents. Our makhana preserves its genuine natural ivory hue and authentic nutty aroma.
