Rani Jumbo Phool Makhana (Fox Nut/Popped Lotus Seed) Plain Raw Uncooked 3.5oz (100g) ~ All Natural | Vegan | No Colors | Gluten Friendly | NON-GMO | Indian Origin

I saw some reviews that stated they were stale, however the product title clearly states they are uncooked so I took my chances.I first tried Fox nuts from the little seasoned packets you can get at Whole Foods for like $6. I thought they tasted good and was hoping for a more economical way to eat them, so I bought these.Out of the container, yes they tasted “stale” with more of a spongy texture, however I still kept in mind the title said uncooked so I figure there has to be another step. I took some and tossed it with a little truffle oil, salt, and rosemary, and popped it in the air fryer. My first attempt I had the temperature too high at 350° F however lowering down to about 250° for 5 minutes and they are perfectly crispy don’t taste stale at all.Would highly recommend!

A very healthy nutritional snack. It is puffed Lotus seed

Just had fox nuts for the first time at a friends house. Just ordered these. They were not even as tasty as packing peanuts. Such a huge disappointment. And I was so embarrassed meeting some new friends, and this is what I brought. Mortified and humiliated.

Fresh and well prepared and well packed and deliveredVery tasty once roasted

Fresh item. Fast shipping.

Stale.

I bought these for a recipe I tried. Never had them before so I don't know if they're good quality or not. Recipe wasn't good so probably won't use them again.

I tried these, different brand, at a friend's house so wanted to have them around as a snack. However, to me they are tasteless, although low in calories. Might be better with seasoning added.
