Mahua flowers are a sun-dried edible flower, found only in the Indian subcontinent. We work with communities in central and Eastern India who have eaten and celebrated Mahua for generations. We ethically harvest the flowers on nets and scientifically sun-dry them to bring them to your kitchen. This approach improves livelihoods for the communities we work with.
The flowers are earthy and subtly sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste. The texture is chewy and creamy, somewhere between a raisin and a soft date. They have no added sugar, no preservatives and are extremely nutritious for you.
Use them anywhere you'd reach for dried fruit. You can snack on them straight from the pack or cook with them. Fold into cookie dough, blend into smoothies, or simmer into kheer. Grind into chutney, stir into dosa batter, or replace your sugar in baked goods.

Got questions?
Our flowers are chewy, with a creamy, raisin-like texture. The flavour is earthy and mildly sweet with a hint of bitterness, with notes of apricot and fig. Think dried fruit meets caramel.
No. Only distilled Mahua (alcohol) has that effect. Our flowers are just food. Think of it like grapes: you can eat them fresh, or you can make wine.
Mahua is rich in Vitamin C, B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9), potassium, iron, and calcium. The B vitamins help convert food into energy and support your nervous system. Iron builds healthy red blood cells, and Vitamin C boosts immunity while helping your body absorb that iron. Potassium maintains fluid balance and supports muscle and nerve function. Calcium strengthens bones, and natural fibre supports gut health.
A daily serving is about 6g, roughly 15 flowers. That's enough to get a meaningful dose of B vitamins, Vitamin C, and iron without overdoing the natural sugars. Eat them straight from the pack or cook with them.
Both. Eat them straight out of the pack as a snack, or toss them into whatever you're making. They work in energy balls, brownies, pancakes, dosas, curries, chutneys, and even beverages.
That's natural. The bitterness comes from compounds in the flower itself. If you find it strong on its own, try blending Mahua into recipes where the sweetness shines through.
Keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stored well, they'll stay fresh for 12 months.
Mahua has a moderate glycaemic index (72) with natural sugars (63g per 100g), but GI isn't the full picture. How your body responds depends on portion size (we recommend just 6g), whether you eat it alone or with a meal, your overall diet, and your activity level. In small portions, it can fit into most diets. Consult your doctor to be sure.
Most Mahua in local markets is collected for alcohol production. Those flowers are picked off forest floors, dried on roads, and exposed to dust, ash, and animal contamination. Our flowers are net-collected, scientifically dried, and processed for food safety. Completely different product.
Traditionally, communities burn the forest floor before harvest so they can spot fallen flowers more easily. This damages the ecosystem and leaves flowers contaminated with ash and soil.
We do it differently: we hang nets beneath the trees so flowers are caught before they hit the ground, then dry them on raised platforms (machaans) using scientific methods. This keeps flowers clean and food-safe, prevents forest fires, increases production, saves time and doubles incomes!
Because food-grade Mahua costs more to produce. Net collection, raised-platform drying, and food-safety processing all take more time and care than conventional methods. We also pay our community partners a premium for higher quality flowers. You're not just paying for a snack, you're paying for a better process.
