5+ Suta Raw Makhana — 16–19 mm

5+ Suta (16–19 mm) is the upper-band 5 Suta grade. It is larger and more uniform than standard 5 Suta (15–18 mm), commanding a 10–15% premium. Preferred by quality-conscious D2C brands and modern trade buyers who want premium puff presentation without paying 6 Suta pricing.

Choose 5+ Suta when your packaging shows the makhana through a clear window, when you are positioning as premium or mid-premium, or when your customers have previously received 6 Suta and you want to offer a competitive alternative. 5 Suta is fine when size is not the key differentiator.

Yes. Modern trade buyers (Reliance, DMart, Nature's Basket) and premium gifting brands often specify 5+ Suta as the minimum grade for their makhana SKUs. The larger, more uniform puff looks better on shelf and justifies a higher consumer price point.
