Makhana has been a staple for centuries in India. The work of the people who harvest and process these seeds deserves more credit. I have seen the harsh conditions they work in to make a livelihood. Hope it helps them too!
We have them here in Bangladesh too and sadly it's slowly going away and I'm kind of surprised that people are getting to know about it now 😅 I thought it was already in the market
I like how When asked if they would trade it for popcorn mark shook his head no But never once stopped eating them the whole time🤣🤣 Dude must have really loved them
@mattman That's what I used to think too bro but if you watch the Behind the scenes clips and everything that they release sometimes they have food on set and since some pitches last A. Long time they eat right Before the next pitch comes so they're not really hungry, You probably did think they were good But just not popcorn replacement
So dope to see Mark being the parent figure, who teaches all these enterpreanurs. When Kevin was talking trash to Barbara, he said "Come on Kev,let Her go". Love it!
The Snack is Great, It is $2.44 here in India!! 3.99 in US is very low compared to indian currency comparison ! she is great, her business will be a Success
Don’t forget she has to pay to ship them from India to the US and that’s an added cost. I would love to know the margins she’s making it’s probably $1/2 at most
I know people always rag on Barbra. But she’s actually very smart, funny, successful, & great shark to pair with. She doesn’t do a lot of deals. But when she does, she’s all in! And really cares about the company. Anyone would be lucky to have her.
Bullshit. I've never once seen anything that she's invested in anywhere. Kevin is the only good one but Lori & Daymond have several things I've seen out & about.
@turncoat725 Barbara has made numerous deals on shark tank. Sometimes she has the oddest and silly reasons for being out on most deals. However her Shark Tank portfolio is pretty huge.
In the beginning, I was all about Barbra, and thought Mr. Wonderful was an @ss. Now it's the the complete other way around. Kevin beating her made me laugh & smile! 😂😁
You're probably just joking, but fiber is beneficial beyond constipation. Fiber can help people feel fuller so they'll eat less. Both soluble and insoluble fiber are vital nutrients beyond just making the bathroom easier.
You get about 250 grams for 50 rupees (less than a dollar) in India, and they are selling it for so much money for like 25 grams. That's the power of good packaging and marketing
Disappointing that this stopped in production. The product sounds interesting and way more healthy. In this current market it sounds like a brilliant idea for health conscious people
I eat this product (Makhana) every week which I buy at Indian Grocery Stores. One of the top selling brand offers this in three flavors - Spicy Mint, Black Pepper and Chille Spice. My favorite is spicy mint.
I'm from India n I've seen this product in our market ... but never knew someone from the US would come over on Sharktank selling it for millions... 😅😅
Barbara: Alright, listen up, folks! I've been sitting here, watching your pitch, and let me tell you, I'm impressed. Your product is innovative, it solves a real problem, and your sales numbers are through the roof! I mean, I can't even count that high. You've got a passionate team behind you, and your marketing strategy is pure genius. You've got it all going for you, and I can see this becoming a huge success. So, for all those reasons, I'm out.
Makhana has been around forever: If one is interested, one can try it at an Indian store for what would be a fraction of anything marketed specifically to the white/Western audience.
I misread the video title, thought it said they were fighting over steak. Clicked it expecting to see them fighting over a nice juicy steak. Now I want water Lilly popcorn 😂
I'm from India. They are called Makhana. Healthy snack in India. I think I finally understand why it's becoming more expensive by the day , it's because of exports.
Makhana has the fibre content to treat constipation and Indians are taking it on regular basis due to its high nutritional value. Obviously, she didn’t know about this.
Makhana maid international debut. But didnt liked the fact she didn't used the word makhana even once. These "lily seeds" Makhana are indigenous to india only and have recorded in Ayurveda with various benefits. That's how we loose our recognition guys and they make few bucks without giving credit to culture. Cause I am pretty sure these makhanas will be sourced from India by indian workers and raise the prices for us
In India, these popped Waterlily seeds are called MAKHANA . Significant part in our culture, we have rituals & Staples & the best snaking option you'll see Apart from this, it is superfood (unimaginably nutritious)
Mark: "I don't get excited enough about it, so I'm Out"
also Mark: constantly eating the product
🤣🤣😂😂
Mark was chowing down over there 💀 😂
hahahaha omg true
hahaha I hadn''t notice ! Mark's full on ATTACKING them
😂😂😂
I love it when snacks are involved and some Sharks are fighting over who gets the deal while the other's just sit there snacking. So funny.
especially because Mark is sitting there snacking and occasionally saying stuff like "you are allowed to counter" just to make it more interesting
@@moo716 Imo he's also promoting the food lol
@@moo716😂
Mark was definitely looking like he was watching an intense movie 😂😂😂
@@moo716😂😂😂😂😂😂
Barbra and Kevin’s relationship is like a marriage. I love it.
Me2
And I just finished watching them get married on that van wedding thing
Then I don't want to get married!... 😳😏
@@uhjeff3651They even kissed! 😅😳😁
I need a compilation of them fighting.
I can’t believe I witnessed Barbara make an offer. Think I’m gonna go buy a lottery ticket
Let me know how it goes. Maybe I’ll buy one too.
@@keiococa3198 what are number requirements for this lottery?
😂😂
I hear you but if she had made a deal and won I'd be buying more than a ticket lol
I’m weak 😂
Mark straight munching waiting for an offer to take 😂
Well, we know Mark likes them. I don't think he stopped eating them during the show. Seriously
true
And he actually said they were good.
I love that at 9:01 he looked like Popcorn Meme hushing them while intently focused :'D
Some of them are r*cist
The show days are pretty long for the sharks. If he eats while recording he can do other in breaktime
Makhana has been a staple for centuries in India. The work of the people who harvest and process these seeds deserves more credit. I have seen the harsh conditions they work in to make a livelihood. Hope it helps them too!
is this makhana, I think they must've known about foxnuts which is its english name and why didn't she market the product with the name "Foxnuts"
@@shivanshmishra9348 foxnuts is a dumb name that's why
That unfortunately is a problem with countries with too many people; People and prices can be exploited !
yeah rich man's popcorn...love em better than popcorn anyday
We have them here in Bangladesh too and sadly it's slowly going away and I'm kind of surprised that people are getting to know about it now 😅 I thought it was already in the market
I like how When asked if they would trade it for popcorn mark shook his head no But never once stopped eating them the whole time🤣🤣 Dude must have really loved them
Nah. They are there for hours without food. He was probably just hungry.
Popcorn and these water lily seeds taste very different. It isn't really a popcorn replacement
@mattman That's what I used to think too bro but if you watch the Behind the scenes clips and everything that they release sometimes they have food on set and since some pitches last A. Long time they eat right Before the next pitch comes so they're not really hungry, You probably did think they were good But just not popcorn replacement
Popcorn should be banned, it's unhealthy and terrible
@@ecovasquez9476How much does a pitch last in real time?
Out because it has no fiber? Lori must be reading from the Barbara school of dumb reasons to go out. ;)
*fibre
@@nicholasjurai2822 fiber is correct
@@nicholasjurai2822 *FIBBRERE
@@PORCHMANKEY who taught u English?a Spaniard?🤣🤣
That whole sentence about fiber was edited together. I'm sure in reality, Lori gave a more in-depth reason to go out.
Water Lilly seeds (lotus) have been a common staple food in India at a fraction of this cost for decades.. it’s all about packaging and marketing.
Do they have some specific taste? Or are they just "popcornish"?
@@taja9696 they are a lot more "airy" less dense but a bit chewier. Taste is not really popcornish but a bit watery and less nutty.
Yes and they are amazing and delicious 😋
@@EarthlingNo7 I could never be a taste tester or write food product descriptions because I have no idea what this means lol
Same in China
Probably Kevin’s best offer I have ever seen
Kevin is some serious cartoon villain in this episode. Don't you dare ruffle his feathers.🤣
I can relate love it 😂😂
Kevin came through HUGE for this deal. Everyone wins (except Barbara).
So dope to see Mark being the parent figure, who teaches all these enterpreanurs. When Kevin was talking trash to Barbara, he said "Come on Kev,let Her go". Love it!
Barbara: "I'll offer you $200,000 for 30%."
Nadine: "Barbara, you got a deal!"
Barbara: "And for that reason, I'm out."
hahahahahahahahahaahaha that cracked me up 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
can you guys stop; she literally is in all the time these days;
She was so great she made Barbara make an offer
And Mark is always ahead on giving hints and suggestions! love this guy
Yes their are good sides about him but unfortunately he is also often arrogant and a bit mean in my opinion... 😒
The Snack is Great, It is $2.44 here in India!! 3.99 in US is very low compared to indian currency comparison ! she is great, her business will be a Success
In 2.44 you're getting way more amount than in the US so, I don't think its cheap
True, also the labour that goes into getting these seeds from mucky lakes deserves to be priced more than cultivated corn kernels
Don’t forget she has to pay to ship them from India to the US and that’s an added cost. I would love to know the margins she’s making it’s probably $1/2 at most
I know people always rag on Barbra. But she’s actually very smart, funny, successful, & great shark to pair with. She doesn’t do a lot of deals. But when she does, she’s all in! And really cares about the company. Anyone would be lucky to have her.
I totally agree. I love the anti Barbara jokes. So many are clever. But she is a warrior in the trenches when she gets stuck in.
Did this look all in to you?
I think pretty much any shark would be good to work with at the end of the day
Bullshit. I've never once seen anything that she's invested in anywhere. Kevin is the only good one but Lori & Daymond have several things I've seen out & about.
@@sub2me543 I never once said she made a deal in this video. Lol
Barbara coming out of her mother's womb: "I've been here for months and no one's made me an offer, for that reason I'm out!!!"
I want to congratulate everyone who has come across this rare gem of a video. One of the only episodes that Barbara has made a deal.
@turncoat725 Barbara has made numerous deals on shark tank. Sometimes she has the oddest and silly reasons for being out on most deals. However her Shark Tank portfolio is pretty huge.
kevin is wild for this
Mark just kept eating the snack😂
I like seeing millionaires fight over seeds
I am surprised that Water lily seeds(Makhane) are not a common snack around the world.
Yes because the seeds are only found in india
Well we don't really reaspect for what we have, we take it for granted
Wow Kevin is a beast, he's hands down my favorite shark and Peter is #2 following close right behind him
I like the quarreling between Kevin and Barbara😂😂
Poor Barbara 😂😂Kevin is à savage 😂😂
In the beginning, I was all about Barbra, and thought Mr. Wonderful was an @ss.
Now it's the the complete other way around. Kevin beating her made me laugh & smile!
😂😁
I was getting frustrated at her not taking Kevin’s deal a lot sooner.
I like how mark calls him "kev" like a little brother 😂
The way Kevin smiled when she said she was Lebanese like him 😄🇱🇧
RIGHT 🥰
Lori tries to imitate Barbara.
"I love it, I will buy it"
" No Fibre, I'm out".
an indian watching this video; damn she is selling makhanas
9:02 Mark calling Kevin out was extremely respectable!
Right. Cuz Barbara was so respectful when Kevin was complimenting her.
@HurricaneLaughter I don't think Mark was backing Barbara, he stopped Kevin because he was trying to listen to the presenter.
The smile on Kevin’s face when the pitcher said she was Lebanese is soooo wholesome! 🥰
Mark didn't sound like he liked it that much, but then he's licking his fingers at the end 😂
Kevin gave a great offer that wasnt greedy and was a good fit for the business. Its Rare but wholesome
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️
Barbra: I love the product so much I’m going to make you an offer, and for that reason I’m out
Is Lori constipated? She’s stuck on that fiber issue.
High and fiber is good to get you in the bathroom. So she's right to ask that question.
You're probably just joking, but fiber is beneficial beyond constipation. Fiber can help people feel fuller so they'll eat less. Both soluble and insoluble fiber are vital nutrients beyond just making the bathroom easier.
@@troletrain I have trouble in the bathroom
@@Superpig500 eat more soluble and insoluble fiber.
@@troletrain will that help with my explosive diarrhea?
I think they should add a "butter" flavour if they want to lessen the gap between popcorn and their product.
@@Yourlastgoodbye663complement, not compliment. Complement means complete. Compliment means praise.
Love the product and love her. ❤ Kevin lights up when she says she is Lebanese like him. 😂
Barbara got so tired of saying she's out that she made an offer so someone else could say she's out.
"Because it's lacking fiber I'm out" 🤣🤣🤣Did Lori and Barbara switch bodies this episode?
Barbara: Iam in
Kevin: No you are out
Barbara: "The title suggests I'm making a deal... But because I'm Barbara, if I'm not out, the entrepreneur is. So in the end I guess I'm still out"
😂
🥱
Mark went out to just eat in peace 😂
How much ever I like Mark Cuban for his good naturedness, you can’t help but admire Kevin. He’s definitely the most entertaining! 😂
That face on Barbara face when she went with Kevin
Mark is so busy snacking he doesn't even care any more
She is selling makhana.. its already widely sold in India. Its a common snack for the health concious
Yeah, but since she’s not in India, it's a novelty everywhere else.
Her opening introduction was perfect!
You get about 250 grams for 50 rupees (less than a dollar) in India, and they are selling it for so much money for like 25 grams. That's the power of good packaging and marketing
thats the power of shipping something from india to america my man
Disappointing that this stopped in production. The product sounds interesting and way more healthy. In this current market it sounds like a brilliant idea for health conscious people
It shows out of stock but last update said the company was doing well
Still out of stock tho rip
Many months later and still out of stock. Yeah, RIP.
❤🇱🇧I loved when kivan said he's part Lebanese
4:27 Cuban not even listening, just snacking.
Barbara finally made an offer 😂
And was intimated by Kevins kinds words, and it backfired on her lmao
And it didn’t even go through LMFAO

Kevin: Dont mess with me barbara, i m gonna squeeze ur head right now ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣lol
"You're allowed to counter" Mark shoveling food into his mouth on a product he passed on.
Kevin's offer was Amazing. I'd take that easily
I misread the video title, thought it said they were fighting over steak. Clicked it expecting to see them fighting over a nice juicy steak. Now I want water Lilly popcorn 😂
7:40 cuban 😂😂😂😂
Le every Indian watching this ::: "We have been eating 'Makhana' all my life. We never valued it this much 🙂"
Barbara: "you've rejected my offer. For that reason, I'm out"
Love how Mr Wonderful got this one especially beating Barbara 😂she just so greedy and she always out of every deal
She could've countered.
Barbara: I'm going to give such a terrible offer that the entrepreneur will make me out.
Afterwards...
Barbara: What a relief to be out!
Kevin is a proud Leb!! 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧
Stupid decision. He gets 8% equity and also his money back with interest! 😂
Barbara : your business isn’t great, so I’ll make you an offer
I'm from India. They are called Makhana. Healthy snack in India. I think I finally understand why it's becoming more expensive by the day , it's because of exports.
Just like Quinoa.
man its so good for calcium. great for bones
That was surprising from Kevin lol!
I can’t believe they just glamorised the Indian snack Makhana LMAO
Makhana has the fibre content to treat constipation and Indians are taking it on regular basis due to its high nutritional value. Obviously, she didn’t know about this.
Barbara: Is it true no one will loan you money. She's didn't know lol
The deal with Kevin never closed but the company is worth 3 mil today.
9:04 Mark being a dad
2:36 Have seen them in Indian grocery stores for many years though!
Can’t believe it took her that long to take Kevin’s deal , that was a no brainer

I was expecting a counter offer at the end but the ending was so sneaky, didn't expect that
when Barbra walked out of her condo she was out....out the door...lol .. and made an offer? w o a h.
Barbara : "I'm in."
Entrepreneur : "And for that reason I'm out."
Kudos to the pitch for admitting that there's going to be a learning curve for the public, despite Kevin's face when she said that
4 dollars for a packet.. woohoo !
Atleast 8-9 times of the price we get the same product in india.
Barbara: I’m in
Kevin: No you’re out
NO girl, Kevin didn’t realize you needed money. He wanted to take revenge of Barbara and you got lucky.
Another example of cuban being too rich for this show, so hes just snacking away 🤣
no more product in amazon or their own website!! Did they go out of business?
The audio on this is godly
This is legit makhana, a popular snack which is probably like 1/5th the price she charges
In India, these popped Waterlily seeds are called MAKHANA . Significant part in our culture, we have rituals & Staples & the best snaking option you'll see
Apart from this, it is superfood (unimaginably nutritious)
Try beef steak 😊
Makhana 😅 Everyone used to eat it for so cheap. Now because of all this companies it’s getting overpriced
