What makes "5+ Suta Handpicked" different from standard "5+ Suta"?

While both are the same large size (19mm+), standard 5+ Suta is machine-cleaned and may still contain small traces of black peel or the occasional hard seed. Handpicked ensures that every single nut is manually checked and verified as perfect. It is the cleanest, most premium version available.

Why is the price significantly higher for this grade?

You are paying for rarity and labor. Only a small percentage of the crop reaches the 5+ Suta size. When we add the cost of manual labor to hand-select only the flawless pieces, the production cost rises, but it guarantees a product with zero waste and maximum visual appeal.

Which markets is this product best suited for?

This grade is specifically designed for: Luxury Exports: To markets like the USA, UK, and Dubai where quality standards are strict. Premium Retail: High-end dry fruit stores that sell in glass jars. Corporate Gifting: Festive hampers where presentation is key.

Can I get this in private label packaging?

Yes. We offer white-label services. We can pack this premium grade into your branded stand-up pouches, jars, or tins, allowing you to launch a luxury makhana brand immediately.

How do you ensure the size remains consistent?

We use advanced gradation sieves that filter out anything smaller than 19mm. During the handpicking phase, workers are also trained to remove any broken or slightly smaller pieces that might have slipped through, ensuring a uniform "Bold" look in the final pack.

Product Description

For those who refuse to compromise on quality, PLS Agro Foods Global presents the 5+ Suta Handpicked Makhana. This product represents the top 1% of the entire makhana harvest from the wetlands of Mithila, Bihar.

This specific grade is the result of a rigorous two-step selection process. First, the raw harvest is graded to isolate only the boldest, largest "Phool" (flower) pops that exceed 19mm in diameter. Second, these jumbo pops undergo a painstaking manual inspection where skilled workers remove any piece with black peel (thri), hard stone seeds (kori), or irregular shapes.

Why This is the "Platinum" Standard:

Unmatched Size & Purity: It is rare to find makhana that is both massive in size AND completely free of visual defects. This grade delivers both.
Snow-White Appearance: The manual removal of black spots results in a product that looks pristine and high-value in transparent jars or premium vacuum packs.
Zero Wastage Guarantee: Unlike bulk sacks where 5-10% might be unusable, every single kernel in this handpicked batch is edible and perfect.
Ideal for Gifting: This is the specific grade used in festive gift hampers (Diwali, Weddings) and sold in premium dry fruit boutiques.
