What are Water Lily Pops?

Makhana is the seed of the water lily — a traditional Indian food that has been enjoyed for generations.
Cultivated in ponds and lakes, particularly across eastern India, Makhana has a long history in Indian food culture and Ayurveda, where it is regarded as a sattvic food associated with purity and wholesomeness.
For much of the Western world, Makhana is still relatively undiscovered. But that is changing.
Sage & Seeds is here to introduce this humble Indian ingredient to a new audience — bringing its tradition, versatility and satisfying crunch to modern snacking.
The journey behind the crunch

What looks simple in a packet has a remarkable amount of work behind it.
Makhana is traditionally harvested from water and goes through a careful process of cleaning, drying, roasting and popping before it becomes the delicate, crunchy snack we know today.
The process is labour-intensive and relies on human skill, patience and care.
Even the occasional natural dark mark you may see on a Makhana pop can be part of the traditional popping process.
This isn’t just another bag of chips or popcorn.
It’s Makhana — brought to you by people, process and patience.




Our Story

Sage & Seeds was born from a desire to step away from the conventional corporate path and build something more meaningful.
“With a personal passion for nutrition and food science, and the everyday realities of being a working mom, I found myself constantly searching for nutritious yet convenient food options. While fresh food is often the ideal choice, preparing it from scratch takes time—something busy families don’t always have. I began to wonder: What if packaged foods could offer the same thoughtful balance of nutrition, quality, and convenience? What if we could make better everyday food choices without compromising on nourishment or spending hours in the kitchen?”
The answer led me to Makhana (Water Lily Pops).
Simple, versatile and rooted in a rich Indian tradition, Makhana felt like the natural place to begin.
But Sage & Seeds is about more than one snack. It is built around a simple belief: the things we choose to bring into our lives should be honest, clean, nourishing and wholesome.
Makhana is our first product. It is only the beginning.
