TAJ Uncooked Phool Makhana 14oz Bulk Pack | Fox Nut, Popped Lotus Seed

Best evening snacks compared to popcorn and my new goto snack. Has protein and fiber so, definitely don’t have to worry about cheat diet. Has a very earthy and neutral taste unless you prefer to use your choice of seasoning. Definitely buying again.

Great nutrition, low cal. Unusual looking to me. Mild flavor, but it fills you up. No room for junk snacks.

This kind of reminds me of real chewy, white hominy. I mean it's totally different, but I treat it similarly when cooking. I do not use it as a snack, but rather a side dish. I cook it well and add flavors like Sofrito or Birria sauce. I do fry in bacon grease to give it a tasty finish. It's fairly bland but takes on the flavor you add, and it makes a good side dish or can even be used in place of rice for saucy main dishes.

Bland chewy and not all that tasty

I like to put a bit of Knorr shrimp bullion powder or other seasonings in a small amount of oil, stir the the lotus seeds around in it until browning crispy then transfer to a bowl and toss with a bit more of the seasoning. It's a good hot crispy snack while watching TV and the seasonings can be varied to keep it interesting.

Not crazy about the taste or texture, but at least it is a healthy snack and like it at least as well as the unhealthy GMO pop corn and no stick between your teeth bits. I heat it in a pan with some butter and salt so quick and easy snack while watching a vid.

I wasn’t aware I had to season them but they are nice and crunchy. They taste a little bland though so called up a good friend and she’s helping me season it up a bit. Wasn’t are you can or should fry themComes in a huge bag ! Probably a lot for someone trying it for the first time. It’s nice that it could be used for salty or sweet. No staleness !

As compared to popcorn, these are very easy to make. I put them in the air fryer for 5 minutes at 380 degrees. It is also nice that there are no kernels to worry about. They are pleasantly crunchy, though they do dissolve and stick to your teeth a bit. They can use the same toppings as popcorn, like butter, salt, cheese powder, or ranch powder. However, these have a flavor that I do not care for. I would describe it as similar to white pepper, which I do not like. It could be slightly mushroom-y or fishy, but I think white pepper is the best description. This is not a fault of the product, it just doesn't meet my personal tastes.
