Makhana processing.

Harvesting and processing of seeds of the aquatic herb makhana (Euryale ferox) is outlined. Fishermen diving into the water sweep seeds on the bottom of ponds into heaps for later collection with nets. A group of 20-25 trained people normally spend 1 week harvesting 1 ha of pond, with seed yields of 2.5 - 3.0 t/ha. Cleaning, drying, storage, size grading, preheating, roasting, polishing and packing methods are described.
