Daadi's Crisp Wheat Peri Peri Khakhra
Published
Daadi's Crisp Wheat Peri Peri Khakhra is a roasted whole wheat cracker snack with peri peri seasoning. It scores [L]CB4: nutrition is middling on whole wheat and fibre, ingredients lose points for flavourings, additives and a protein claim that falls short, and risk is high because of the salt. Fine now and then with chutney, not as a daily snack.

What to know about Daadi's Crisp Wheat Peri Peri Khakhra
A whole wheat khakhra with a salty seasoning
A 180 g pack of ten khakhra, the thin roasted wheat crackers of Gujarat and Rajasthan. They are built from whole wheat flour (76.77%), rice bran oil and iodised salt, with a peri peri seasoning (4.03%) of starch, salt, sugar, spices and flavourings. People buy it as a ready-to-eat crunch for tea time, to eat with chutney or jam.
Per 100 g you get 479 kcal, 9.78 g protein, 10.88 g fibre and 21.31 g fat, with 4.61 g saturated fat and 1,150 mg sodium. One 18 g piece has 86 kcal, 1.8 g protein and 207 mg sodium. The wheat and fibre are real, and the cost is mostly salt and calories.
The front panel promises High Protein and High Fiber. The fibre claim holds, but the protein is too low for the claim, and that is what sets the [L] flag. The seasoning also adds flavourings and additives that cost points. CleanPlate scores it [L]CB4.
Does Daadi's Crisp Wheat Peri Peri Khakhra live up to its claims?
High Fiber holds, but High Protein does not: 9.78 g per 100 g is under the line. Roasted, Not Fried and 100% Natural need care, since the khakhra has 21.31 g fat and added flavourings.
- On the packMisleading
“High Protein”
Protein is 9.78 g per 100 g and 2.04 g per 100 kcal, under the lines needed for a high-protein claim. One piece has only 1.8 g.
- On the packHolds
“High Fiber”
Fibre is 10.88 g per 100 g, about 2 g in one 18 g piece, mostly from whole wheat flour.
- On the packBe careful
“Roasted, Not Fried”
Rice bran oil is in the dough and palm fat is in the seasoning, so fat is still 21.31 g per 100 g.
- Retail listingBe careful
“100% Natural”
The pack lists nature-identical and artificial flavouring substances, plus TBHQ (319) and silicon dioxide (551), in the seasoning.
- Retail listingBe careful
“Fibre 13.26 g per 100 g”
The retailer page shows 13.26 g fibre per 100 g, the pack shows 10.88 g. The pack figure is used.
Why Daadi's Crisp Wheat Peri Peri Khakhra scores [L]CB4
Nutrition is a C on 9.78 g protein and 10.88 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a B, held back by flavourings, TBHQ and the protein claim. Risk is a 4, driven by 1,150 mg sodium per 100 g.

- None declared
- Energy
- 479 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 9.78 g per 100 g, which is 2.04 g per 100 kcal, so it earns little credit. Most of it comes from the whole wheat flour. Fibre is 10.88 g per 100 g, about 2 g in one 18 g piece.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre. Energy is dense at 479 kcal per 100 g, mostly from the wheat and the 21.31 g of fat.
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 starts well: whole wheat flour at 76.77%, then rice bran oil and iodised salt. No hydrogenated fat is listed, though the seasoning contains palm fat.
The seasoning costs ingredient points. Nature-identical and artificial flavourings, the antioxidant TBHQ (319), the anticaking agent silicon dioxide (551) and the flavour enhancer listed as INS 627/367 each cost points. Citric acid (330) costs nothing.
The High Protein claim on the front does not hold, because protein is under 11 g per 100 g and under 5.5 g per 100 kcal. That costs label points and sets the [L].
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Total sugar
- 6.8 g

- 1150 mg
- Saturated fat

03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the main driver: 1,150 mg per 100 g, 207 mg in one piece. Energy at 479 kcal per 100 g comes next.
Saturated fat is 4.61 g per 100 g, just under the 5 g high line, and sugar is 6.78 g per 100 g. Both add a little, but salt does most of the work.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

What's in Daadi's Crisp Wheat Peri Peri Khakhra?
Whole wheat flour leads at 76.77%, followed by rice bran oil and salt. The seasoning is where the flavourings, the antioxidant TBHQ and most of the salt sit.
The ingredient list, read for you
Whole wheat flour (atta) leads at 76.77%, so the khakhra is mostly wheat, with rice bran oil for crispness and iodised salt. Only the wheat and the seasoning (4.03%) carry a declared percentage.
The peri peri seasoning is starch, salt, sugar powder, chilli, garlic, onion and oregano, with palm fat and flavourings. Citric acid (330) adjusts acidity, a flavour enhancer (INS 627/367) lifts the savoury taste, silicon dioxide (551) keeps it free-flowing, and TBHQ (319) protects the fat.
Ingredients to watch
- SodiumConcern
1,150 mg per 100 g, 207 mg in one 18 g piece. It is the biggest part of the risk grade.
- High Protein claimConcern
9.78 g protein per 100 g is under the line for the claim, so the promise is hollow and costs label points.
- TBHQ (319)Worth watching
An antioxidant in the seasoning that costs ingredient points.
- Flavourings and silicon dioxideWorth watching
Nature-identical and artificial flavourings, the flavour enhancer INS 627/367 and silicon dioxide (551) in the seasoning each cost points.
- Whole wheat and fibreFine
Whole wheat flour is 76.77% of the khakhra, with 10.88 g fibre per 100 g.
