Our take
CleanPlate reviewPlain spiced buttermilk with a salty edge
Akshayakalpa Organic Spiced Buttermilk is organic curd diluted with water and flavoured with green chilli, ginger, coriander and pink salt, in a 180 ml pack. The panel is printed per 100 ml.
CleanPlate scores it CA3. The C for nutrition is middling: some calcium per 100 ml. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by milk solids, green chilli and ginger), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from sodium (287 mg per 100 ml) and saturated fat (0.88 g per 100 ml).
