There’s something magical about that little handful of sweetness and spice we enjoy after a hearty meal. Yes, we’re talking about Mukhwas — a colorful, aromatic, and flavorful mouth freshener deeply rooted in Indian tradition. But have you ever paused to ask: What is Mukhwas actually made of?
At Rasily, we believe in keeping the tradition alive, with a touch of vibrancy and a whole lot of natural goodness. Let’s take you behind the scenes of what makes Rasily Mukhwas not just tasty, but also a celebration of nature’s bounty.
The Heart of Mukhwas: Seeds That Heal and Soothe
If you take a closer look at any Rasily Mukhwas, you’ll find one common thread — fennel seeds. Known as saunf in Hindi, fennel is more than just a crunchy snack. It aids digestion, freshens breath, and even helps reduce bloating. This is why it’s often the main ingredient in most of our blends — from the vibrant Bombay Mix to the cooling Gulab Mukhwas.
But fennel doesn’t work alone. Many of our varieties also include coriander seeds, cumin (jintan), and carom seeds (ajwain) — all well known for their digestive and aromatic properties. These ingredients not only make your breath smell amazing but also help your stomach settle after a heavy meal.
Take the Jamnagari Mukhwas, for instance. It blends fennel, dill, sesame, and carom seeds — making it one of the healthiest and most grounding options in our lineup. No sugar, just pure seed power.
Sweetness with a Purpose: Sugar and Natural Flavours
Of course, who can resist the sweet and colourful varieties? Our Poona Mukhwas and Rangeela Mukhwas are cheerful treats that blend sugar-coated seeds with permitted natural flavours and food colours. These are safe and widely used across food industries — with colour codes like INS 102 (Tartrazine) or INS 133 (Brilliant Blue), always within food-grade standards.
These ingredients give our Mukhwas its visual charm and appeal, making it not just tasty but also a feast for the eyes — something guests and children particularly love.
Pan-Inspired Bliss: Rose Petals, Betel Leaves & More
For those who crave the classic pan flavour without the tobacco, Rasily’s got you covered. Our Mitha Pan, Pan Bahar, and the luxurious Majestic Pan are perfect examples.
These blends include rose petals, betel leaves, and even dry dates — giving that indulgent, cooling aftertaste typical of paan, but without the harmful additives. It’s all about the natural essence of the leaves and flowers, combined with gentle sweetness, to leave you feeling refreshed and pampered.
Health-Focused Options: When Taste Meets Nutrition
If you’re more health-conscious, Rasily also offers Mukhwas that are low on sugar and high on fiber and nutrients. Our Flax Seed Mukhwas is a great example. Made with flax seeds, sesame, fennel, and a pinch of salt and turmeric, it’s a powerhouse of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. It’s proof that good things do come in small bites!
Similarly, Gujarati Gotli uses mango seeds — an ingredient passed down in traditional Gujarati kitchens — along with sesame and coriander. It’s tangy, earthy, and surprisingly nutritious.
A Splash of Salt & Spice
Not every Mukhwas needs to be sweet. Some of our blends, like the Salted Mukhwas, are perfect for those who prefer a savory aftertaste. With roasted fennel, turmeric, salt, and sesame, it’s the kind of snack you keep reaching for — post-lunch or even with tea.
This mix is especially soothing in warm climates and is often considered a gentle detox after spicy meals.
