Fox Nut/Lotus Seeds/Phool Makhana

Fox Nut/Lotus Seeds/Phool Makhana are edible seeds harvested from the aquatic plant Euryale ferox, supplied by ESU International from India. The product is priced at $7 per kilogram and carries the HS code 19041090. Each kilogram contains 77 g carbohydrates, 7.6 g dietary fibre, 9.7 g protein and provides 350 kcal, while the seeds are noted for their sparkly white colour and a shelf life of twelve months. The supplier states that packaging is prepared according to the customer's requirement.

In the snack industry, lotus seeds are typically dried to a moisture level of 10‑12 % to prevent mould growth, a range that aligns with the twelve‑month shelf life reported. Standard seed dimensions fall between 6 mm and 9 mm in diameter, and ash content is usually 2‑3 % of total weight. ESU International’s offering matches these industry norms, providing a product suitable for bulk processing and further flavouring.

Buyers such as food manufacturers, health‑food distributors and bulk snack packers often request minimum orders of 100 kg, as listed by the supplier. Shipping terms and incoterms are negotiated per order, with flexibility to meet export documentation requirements. Prospective importers should confirm lead times, payment conditions and any required phytosanitary certificates directly with ESU International.

ESU International is registered at 43 Silver City, Jitali, Ankleshwar, Bharuch, Gujarat 393001, India. The company holds a harbour‑tier verification on the platform, indicating a completed business‑profile audit. Its listed address places it within a region known for agricultural processing and export logistics.

The supplier’s profile does not disclose additional certifications, production capacity or client references, and its response rate is currently zero, suggesting that enquiries may require proactive follow‑up. ESU International offers to tailor packaging to buyer specifications, but buyers should verify the ability to meet specific export standards before placing orders.
