Our take
CleanPlate reviewPeanut chutney with real peanuts and coconut
Aashirvaad Peanut Chutney is water, peanuts (26.1%), coconut, sunflower oil, tamarind, green chilli, red chilli (1.4%), salt, bengal gram dal, coriander, garlic, urad dal, curry leaves, mustard and a little sugar. The pack is 120 g.
CleanPlate scores it EA3. The E for nutrition is low: only 5.9 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by peanut, coconut and refined sunflower oil), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (492 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (5.5 g per 100 g).
