Combo Makhana & Raisins

What is inside this makhana and raisins combo?

You get 200g Grade A Bihar makhana (raw) and 200g golden kishmish (raisins), total 400g in separate pouches. It is a crispy-meets-sweet pairing with the lowest calorie density of all our combos — ideal for weight loss, diabetic-friendly snacking, and kids' tiffins.

Is this combo diabetic-friendly?

Makhana has a low glycaemic index (around 53) and is one of the best snacks for diabetics. Raisins have natural sugar (about 60% by weight) and a medium GI, so they should be eaten in small portions (10–15g, about 1 tablespoon) alongside the makhana. Consult your doctor for personalised guidance.

How do I use this combo as a kids' tiffin snack?

Roast the makhana in ghee with a light masala, let cool completely, mix with raisins and pack in a dry airtight tiffin box. It is crunchy, sweet, low-fat and free of preservatives — far better than packaged namkeen, chips or biscuits. Most kids love the combination and it survives 4–5 hours in a tiffin.

Can I use this combo for Ayurvedic recipes?

Yes — makhana and raisins together are used in Ayurveda for strength-building recipes. Soak 5 raisins overnight, roast 10 makhana in ghee, and eat both first thing in the morning. This is a traditional recommendation for iron deficiency, digestion and post-recovery nutrition.

How should I store the two items after opening?

Store makhana in an airtight jar away from moisture (moisture ruins the crunch). Store raisins in a cool dry place, or refrigerate in a sealed zip pouch to prevent them from drying out. Never store the two together — their different moisture levels will soften the makhana and harden the raisins.
