Now sourcing for Australia

A cleaner snack aisle starts with makhana (fox nuts).

Makhana is one of the fastest growing health food ingredients in India and the US, and almost no Australian supplier has claimed it yet. Snaplite gets you there first, whether you're building it into your own product or selling it exactly as it arrives.

Why makhana (fox nuts), why now.

Fox nuts have anchored South Asian pantries for generations. Light, naturally high in protein, they sit exactly where the Australian health food category is heading, moving away from fried and toward functional. Snaplite is the brand built to get it there first.

Whether you're formulating your own snack around it or stocking it raw, that gap is still open.

Grown in Bihar

Our manufacturing partner grows and processes every batch in Bihar, India, home to the world's makhana harvest.

No import duty starting January 2026

The ECTA agreement between India and Australia removes import duty on our category, so quality doesn't have to be traded off for margin.

Brand, not just a label

Snaplite owns getting the brand to market in Australia, covering positioning, packaging, and distributor relationships, while our partners handle manufacturing and import.

One product. Two ways to sell it.

Snaplite supplies raw, high grade makhana (fox nuts), sourced directly from our manufacturer partner in Bihar. Some buyers roast and season it under their own brand. Others sell it exactly as it arrives, raw and unprocessed, as a health food staple that is already familiar to a growing market of consumers looking for clean, plant based snacking and cooking ingredients. Either way, the raw material quality is the same: consistent size, clean processing, and sourced from a single relationship rather than mixed lots.

Whether you roast it, season it, or sell it exactly as it arrives, the quality underneath does not change.
