What to know about 3 in 1 Chikki
Peanut and seed brittle, with sugar from three sources
Chheda's 3 in 1 Chikki is a set brittle built from peanuts, jaggery, rajgeera (puffed amaranth) and sesame, with sugar, glucose and cardamom. It is a traditional sweet, bought as a winter treat or a crunchy pocket snack by people who want something that tastes like a sweet but is made from nuts and seeds. No ingredient percentages are declared.
What you get is a fairly dense snack: 500 kcal, 14.29 g protein and 7.14 g fibre per 100 g. What it costs is sugar and energy: 28.57 g sugar per 100 g, from jaggery, sugar and glucose. The pack's serving is 14 g, which has 70 kcal, 2 g protein and 4 g sugar, so a small piece is modest and a handful is not.
The pack promises a blend of puffed amaranth, peanuts, sesame and jaggery, and the list delivers all four, with peanuts first. The side claims of no preservatives, no artificial flavours or colours and zero cholesterol also match the list. CleanPlate scores it CA4.
Why 3 in 1 Chikki scores CA4
Nutrition is a C on 14.29 g protein and 7.14 g fibre per 100 g, mostly from peanuts. Ingredients are an A because the list is short and has no additives. Risk is a 4 because of 28.57 g sugar and 500 kcal per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 14.29 g per 100 g and fibre is 7.14 g, with peanuts the largest protein contributor, followed by sesame and amaranth. In a 14 g serving that is 2 g protein and 1 g fibre.
Energy is 500 kcal per 100 g, and iron is the only mineral the panel shows, at 4% of the daily value per serving. The protein and fibre hold the grade at a middle level.
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 A
The list is short and recognisable: peanuts, jaggery, rajgeera, sesame, sugar, glucose and cardamom. No additives, preservatives, colours or hydrogenated fats are listed, and no front-of-pack promise is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.
Ingredient percentages are not declared, so the exact share of peanuts and seeds against the sweeteners is unknown.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Total sugar
- 28.6 g
- Sodium
- 0 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar is the biggest driver: 28.57 g per 100 g from jaggery, sugar and glucose, with no intrinsic sugar to offset it. A 14 g serving has 4 g.
Energy is the second part, at 500 kcal per 100 g and 70 kcal per serving. Saturated fat, trans fat and sodium are all declared as 0, so they add nothing to the risk number.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does 3 in 1 Chikki live up to its claims?
The no-preservatives, no-artificial-flavours, zero-cholesterol and vegan claims hold against the list. The blend claim is true but leaves out the sugar and glucose.

What's in 3 in 1 Chikki?
Peanuts lead a short list of jaggery, rajgeera, sesame, sugar, glucose and cardamom. The three sweeteners are what to watch.
The ingredient list, read for you
Peanuts lead the list, then jaggery, rajgeera (puffed amaranth) and sesame, so the base is nuts and seeds bound with sweetener. Sugar and glucose follow as extra sweeteners, and cardamom gives the flavour. No percentages are declared.
Ingredients to watch
- Sugar from three sourcesConcern
Jaggery, sugar and glucose together give 28.57 g sugar per 100 g, and 4 g in a 14 g serving. Jaggery is still sugar, so the traditional name does not lower the number.
- EnergyWorth watching
500 kcal per 100 g, 70 kcal per 14 g serving. Easy to eat more than one serving.
- No percentages declaredWorth watching
The share of peanuts, seeds and sweeteners is not printed, so the balance can't be checked.
- Peanuts, sesame and amaranthFine
Protein of 14.29 g and fibre of 7.14 g per 100 g come from them.
- No additivesFine
No preservative, colour, artificial flavour or hydrogenated fat is listed, and trans fat is declared as 0 g.
What it doesn’t have
- No ingredient percentages are declared, so the peanut share is unknown.
Who should eat 3 in 1 Chikki?
