What is Suta in Makhana?

Soota is a unit of length rarely used in daily life but essential in the makhana industry. To understand it better, let’s compare it with commonly used measurement systems:

  • MKS (SI) System:
    • Meter (M) – Length
    • Kilogram (Kg) – Weight
    • Second (S) – Time
  • FPS System:
    • Foot (F) – Length
    • Pound (P) – Weight
    • Second (S) – Time

In the FPS system, 1 Foot = 12 Inches, and each inch is further divided into 8 equal parts. Each of these parts is known as a Soota.

  • 1 Inch = 8 Soota
  • 1 Inch = 25.4mm
  • 1 Suta = 3.175mm
