Grades

Sizes we supply

Makhana is graded by suta — the diameter of the popped kernel. We supply both handpicked premium and standard non-handpicked lots, calliper-checked against the agreed grade before packing. Grades marked “+” are mixed-size lots with a guaranteed minimum.

Handpicked Premium

Hand-sorted, export grade

Each pop selected by hand for whiteness, expansion and uniformity. Specified where appearance carries the price — retail packs, gifting and private label.

GradeSize range
3 Suta9.5–12 mm
4 Suta12–14 mm
4+ Suta14–26 mm
5 Suta15–19 mm
5+ Suta15–26 mm
6+ Suta19–26 mm
Non-Handpicked

Machine-graded, commercial

Sorted and size-graded without the hand-selection pass. The practical choice for processing, flavouring lines and volume programmes where cost leads.

4 Suta Makhana, smaller uniformly white kernels

4 Suta

Smaller kernel. Suited to snack processing, flavouring lines and cost-sensitive bulk programmes.

5 Suta Makhana lifted by hand from a bulk sack

5 Suta

15–19 mm

The most widely traded grade. A dependable balance of size, appearance and commercial value for retail and distribution.

6+ Suta Makhana, large premium-appearance kernels

6+ Suta

19–26 mm

Larger, premium-appearance kernel. Preferred for retail packs, gifting and private-label ranges where size drives shelf appeal.
