01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 7.8 g per 100 g and fibre is 11.2 g. In the suggested 20 g serve that is about 1.6 g protein and 2.2 g fibre, so the grade rests on a decent fibre figure and a small protein figure.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade.

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

Foxnut, olive oil and rock salt is a short, recognisable list with no additives, no sweetener, no flavouring and no hydrogenated fat. Declared trans fat is 0 g and that is accepted.

No percentages are given for the three ingredients, which is the one gap in an otherwise clean label. No label promise is hollow.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 4

Saturated fat is the biggest driver at 9.2 g per 100 g, nearly twice the 5 g high line. Energy at 510 kcal per 100 g comes next.

Sodium is 315 mg per 100 g, about 63 mg per serve, and adds only a little. Sugar is 0 g added, so it plays no part. That combination lands on a 4.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Farmley Himalayan Salt Makhana live up to its claims?

The ingredient list, read for you

Foxnut (makhana) leads, then olive oil, then rock salt. That is the whole list: the nut is the snack, the oil crisps and carries the roast, and the salt gives the Himalayan salt flavour. There are no additives, sweeteners or flavourings, though no percentages are declared.

What to know about Farmley Himalayan Salt Makhana

Three clean ingredients, but more fat than puffed makhana suggests

A 55 g jar of roasted fox nut (makhana) snack built from three things: foxnut, olive oil and rock salt. It is sold to people who want a crunchy, fasting-friendly snack in place of chips or fried bhujia. The pack declares no percentages for any of the three.

A suggested 20 g serve gives about 102 kcal, 1.6 g protein and 2.2 g fibre, with 63 mg sodium. Per 100 g the panel shows 510 kcal, 7.8 g protein, 11.2 g fibre, 22.5 g fat and 9.2 g saturated fat. Sugar is 0.5 g and there is no added sugar.

The front says roasted in olive oil, roasted not fried, cholesterol free and plant protein, and the list backs the oil and the salt. What it does not say is how much oil is in there: the fat is well above what plain makhana would carry. CleanPlate scores it CA4.
