Roasted makhana contains 9.7g of protein per 100g. That is measured on MAKHANZA Classic Plain roasted makhana.
The full picture per 100g
- Protein — 9.7 g
- Dietary fibre — 14.5 g
- Carbohydrates — 76.9 g
- Total fat — 0.1 g
- Calcium — 60 mg
The fat figure is the one people find surprising. At 0.1g per 100g, plain roasted makhana is close to fat-free before anything is added to it — which is a function of roasting rather than frying.
In a realistic serving
A 50g pouch delivers roughly 4.9g of protein and 7.3g of fibre. That is not a protein supplement, and we would not describe it as one. It is a snack that happens to bring protein and fibre instead of just refined carbohydrate.
