Pooja And Pankaj Juneja
When Pooja was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure, it became a defining moment. Pankaj, driven by love and responsibility, began looking for natural, wholesome foods that could support her health without compromising on taste. That search led him to makhanas—light, nourishing, and deeply rooted in Indian food culture. Thoughtfully prepared and carefully incorporated into Pooja’s daily diet, makhanas became more than just a snack; they became a symbol of mindful living. This personal journey laid the foundation for our belief in Makhana as a truly functional superfood—and ultimately inspired the vision behind PJ Global Foods.
Pratibha
I spent most of my life struggling with my weight, often feeling uncomfortable in my own body and disconnected from my health. Moving to Canada became a turning point—it forced me to confront my habits and make conscious choices about what I was eating. When my mother was diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure, I began including makhanas in my own diet alongside her. What began as a personal step toward better health soon became a deeper connection to our family’s belief in mindful, wholesome food.
I started munching on makhanas whenever I craved processed snacks and boom! I lost 15 kgs already.
