Fudco Char Magaz Melon Seeds
Product Description
Elevate your culinary creations and baking with Fudco Char Magaz Melon Seeds (800g). A traditional cornerstone of South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking, “Char Magaz” translates literally to “four kernels,” consisting of a wholesome, nutrient-rich blend of seeds harvested from various types of melons, including watermelon, musk melon, and pumpkin or squash seeds.
With their mild, pleasantly nutty flavor and delicate texture, Char Magaz seeds are famously used to thicken rich gravies (curries like korma, makhani, and shahi paneer), add texture to traditional sweets (halwas, laddoos, and kheer), and enrich festive baked goods. Fudco’s generous 800g family pack provides a pristine, premium-grade supply for home cooks and culinary professionals alike.
