At Yumify, we believe every generation deserves snacks that taste great, deliver nutrition, and support healthy ageing. Our Himalayan Salt & Pepper Makhana is crafted precisely for that. Let’s explore together why it stands out—especially for senior citizens.


1. The Story of Makhana: A Super‐Snack from Indian Tradition

Makhana (also called fox nuts or lotus seeds) has been part of Indian kitchens for centuries—and for good reason. It’s light, wholesome and full of nutrients. Recent health insights confirm what our ancestors honoured: makhana offers plant‐based protein, is heart-friendly, has a low glycemic index, supports digestion, and much more. Apollo 24|7+2India Today+2

When our Yumify team set out to build a snack range, we committed to using premium makhana, clean ingredients, and flavours that resonate—not just for young consumers, but for families and senior citizens as well.


2. Why It’s Ideal for Seniors: Nutritional Benefits You Can Count On

Let’s dig into the core benefits that matter especially for those entering the “golden years”.

a) Heart-Friendly, Low in Unhealthy Fats

Makhana is naturally cholesterol-free and low in unhealthy saturated fats, which supports cardiovascular health. Apollo 24|7

Our Himalayan Salt & Pepper variant uses natural mineral Himalayan salt (in moderation) and black pepper to add flavour while keeping sodium under mindful control.

b) Plant Protein + Bone Support

Maintaining muscle mass and bone strength is critical as we age. Makhana provides plant-based protein and essential minerals like calcium and magnesium—key for bone health and joint flexibility. Apollo 24|7+1

That means a snack that not only tastes good, but supports mobility, strength, and vitality.

c) Easily Digestible & Gentle on the System

Our digestive systems often become more sensitive with age—slower digestion, weaker gut muscle strength, and increasing need for fiber and gentle foods. Makhana is light, easy on the stomach, and suitable for evening or lighter snacking.

Also, its low glycemic index helps avoid blood sugar spikes—a concern for many seniors. Apollo 24|7+1

d) Natural Minerals + Antioxidants = Wellness Support

The Himalayan salt adds trace minerals, while black pepper helps with bio‐availability (absorption of nutrients) and metabolism support.

Makhana also contains antioxidants that fight oxidative stress and support healthy ageing. India Today
