What to know about 24 Mantra Organic Puffed Rice
Rice and salt only, but almost all starch
24 Mantra Organic Puffed Rice (murmura) is a 200 g pack of organic puffed rice with a single added ingredient, salt. No percentages are declared, but rice leads the list and nothing else is in it. It is bought as a light, crisp base for bhel, salads and homemade snack mixes.
A 30 g serve, about 1/4 cup, gives 108 kcal, 2.1 g protein, 0.8 g fibre and 120 mg sodium. Per 100 g the panel shows 361 kcal, 7 g protein, 2.6 g fibre, 1.6 g fat and 400 mg sodium. Sugar is 0.6 g, all from the grain, and added sugar is 0 g.
The front says gluten free, low in fat and traditional process, and the numbers agree on the first two. The back says no preservatives, artificial colours or flavourings, and the list has none. What the pack cannot change is that puffed rice is mostly starch. CleanPlate scores it DB2.
Why 24 Mantra Organic Puffed Rice scores DB2
Nutrition is a D because the rice is nearly all carbohydrate, with 7 g protein and 2.6 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a B on a two-item list with no additives, and risk is a 2.
Low nutrient density
- Protein

- Fibre
- 2.6 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- Iron, Calcium, Potassium
- Energy
- 361 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 7 g per 100 g, about 2 g per 100 kcal, and nearly all of it comes from the rice itself. That is too little to earn protein credit. Fibre is 2.6 g per 100 g.
The grade rests on the small credit for the minerals declared: iron 4.6 mg, calcium 15 mg and potassium 140 mg per 100 g. Carbohydrate makes up 80.4 g of every 100 g, so there is little else to lift it.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is rice and salt, with no additives, no sweeteners, no flavourings and no added fat. No label promise is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.
Puffed rice is still a processed grain, which keeps it short of the top grade.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar

- Sodium

- Saturated fat
- 0 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sodium is the main driver: 400 mg per 100 g, 120 mg in a 30 g serve. Energy adds the rest, at 361 kcal per 100 g.
Sugar, saturated fat and trans fat are all 0 g, so they add nothing. That is why risk stays at a 2.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in 24 Mantra Organic Puffed Rice?
Rice leads and salt follows, with no additives, no sweeteners and no fat added. The things to watch are the thin protein and fibre, and the sodium.
The ingredient list, read for you
Rice is first and, with salt, is the only other ingredient, so the product is puffed rice with a little seasoning. No percentages are declared, and there are no additives, sweeteners or added oils.
Ingredients to watch
- Thin protein and fibreConcern
Protein is 7 g and fibre 2.6 g per 100 g, with 80.4 g carbohydrate. This is what holds the nutrition grade down.
- SodiumWorth watching
400 mg per 100 g, about 1 g of salt, and 120 mg in a 30 g serve. Extra seasoning on top adds to it.
- IngredientsFine
Rice and salt only, with no additives, preservatives, colours or flavourings.
- Sugar and saturated fatFine
Added sugar is 0 g and saturated fat is 0 g, with trans fat at 0 g too.
What it doesn’t have
- Fibre is low at 2.6 g per 100 g, and protein is only 7 g, so it is not a filling snack on its own.
Who should eat 24 Mantra Organic Puffed Rice?
A few times a week suits most adults and children. Those watching blood pressure should keep an eye on added seasoning, since the rice already has 120 mg sodium per serve.
- Most adultsA few times a week
108 kcal and 120 mg sodium per serve, but little protein or fibre.
- ChildrenA few times a week
No sugar or additives, though protein is only 2.1 g per serve.
- High blood pressureA few times a week
120 mg sodium per 30 g serve, more once seasoning is added.
- Weight managementA few times a week
108 kcal per 30 g is light, but 2.6 g fibre per 100 g keeps you full only briefly.
Recipes with 24 Mantra Organic Puffed Rice
Murmura works as a base for bhel, salads and snack mixes. Add vegetables, nuts or pulses to lift the 7 g protein per 100 g, and go light on extra salt.
Murmura bhel
Toss 30 g puffed rice with chopped onion, tomato and cucumber, and keep the seasoning light, as the rice already has 120 mg sodium.
Puffed rice and chana mix
Mix with roasted chana or peanuts to add protein to a base that has only 2.1 g per serve.
Murmura and curd bowl
Stir into curd with grated carrot just before eating, so the rice stays crisp and the bowl gains protein.
