Best Makhana (Phool Makhana) Wholesaler in India
Makhana is graded by "sutta" (pop size) — 4-sutta is standard, 5-sutta is jumbo, and 6-sutta hand-picked is the largest, whitest grade that commands the top price. The best makhana wholesaler sources directly from Bihar (Darbhanga/Madhubani belt), grades by sutta honestly, and offers both raw and flavoured. Chau Foods does exactly this, FSSAI certified with GST invoicing.

| 5 Sutta (Jumbo) | Large, uniform white pops | ₹950–1,200/kg |

How to Choose the Best Makhana Supplier
Grade by sutta, verify pop size
4/5/6 sutta = increasing pop diameter and price. Ask for a sample — genuine 5–6 sutta is visibly larger, whiter and uniform, not just relabelled 4-sutta.
Moisture & crispness
Makhana absorbs humidity fast and goes chewy. Buy recent-lot, well-dried stock and store sealed. Fresh makhana is light and crisp with a clean snap.
Direct Bihar sourcing
Every extra layer between the Darbhanga farm and you adds ₹50–100/kg. A direct-sourcing wholesaler passes farm-gate pricing and better grade control.
Raw vs flavoured economics
If you’re a snack brand, buy raw by sutta and flavour in-house for margin; if you’re a retailer, ready flavoured packs save processing.
