From pond to pause

How the harvest happens

01

The pond

Seeds mature underwater from June; Mallah divers gather them by hand from the pokhars of Darbhanga and Madhubani.

02

The pop

Sun-dried, then popped over an open flame. Ten seconds a seed, no oil, nothing added.

03

The pause

Graded in suta, packed within days of popping, and on your table across India.
