POWER OF LOTUS

LOTUS SEEDS ARE REALLY GOOD FOR YOU!

The origins of Lotus Seeds and how something so small could be so mighty in terms of taste and health, hence the name Magic Seeds. As divine and majestic as Lotus (Water lily) flowers are, their seeds are equally precious and naturally crammed with minerals and vitamins which make them super nutritious food.

The Gorgon seeds tick many boxes as part of your balanced daily diet. As they are a source of so many real goodies.

✓   Good Source of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and B6
✓   Packed with Plant Protein
✓   High in Magnesium, Potassium and Manganese
✓   Gluten Free & Low Calorie

We now wonder why Lotus seeds are so popular in India and other Asian subcontinental nations for many centuries. These secret treasures have now been rediscovered and researched broadly nowadays. A recent study conducted in both USA and China revealed that Gorgon Seeds (Euryale ferox – water lily flower seeds) are good antioxidants and are also widely used in traditional oriental medicines to cure kidney problems.

BONKERS, Right? We get it. We Britons love our daily snacks, so they have to be tasty.
So we strive to carefully craft our snacks by roasting and blending them with innovative flavorings to perfection so you can enjoy them guilt-free.

VITAMINS

Vitamins have jobs to help keep our body working properly as well as aiding the release of energy from food. Lotus seeds provide a source of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and Vitamin E, which if consumed appropriately can help your body gets the vitamins it needs so that we all can live a happy healthy life.
Share the goodness!

MINERALS

Our body needs certain minerals from the four key elements that mother nature has to offer – Air, Water, Earth, and Fire/light. Here we have seeds that provide some of the essential minerals in abundance. They include magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese which can make an important contribution to your daily mineral intake as part of a balanced diet.

THE PROCESS

The seeds are harvested from a water farm once a year in rural India. They are cleanwashed and sundried in the great Indian summer. They are then graded into various sizes and pre-heated at 230 degrees C. At this point, they are still in their hard kernel/shell ready for storage.

The magic starts to happen when they are heated again under very high temperatures and pressure for a long time which results in puffed crunchy stuff which looks like popcorn. The puffed seeds are imported at GorgonPops HQ in the UK where they are roasted again, seasoned and packed.

This is no less than rocket science. Because this entire process is very manual and arduous. Lots of hard work especially from local farmers goes into it. Unfortunately, those front-line farming communities despite harnessing these treasures (high-valued goodness) are still living under the poverty line, and do not have access to basic education for their children.

Therefore, it’s part of our mission to support this community in every small way we can. Every pack purchased will contribute to this mission. And this is REAL!
