What to know about Farmley Prasadam Makhana
One ingredient, no additives, modest protein
Farmley Prasadam Makhana is a 200 g pack of foxnuts (makhana), and that is the whole ingredient list. It is sold for fasting days and pooja offerings, and for anyone who wants a plain, gluten-free snack to eat on its own or cook with. The list gives no percentage, which is expected for a single ingredient.
Per 100 g the pack declares 350 kcal, 9.7 g protein, 7.6 g fibre, 77 g carbohydrate and 0.1 g fat. Sugar, saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol are all 0 g, and sodium is printed as 0 mg. The suggested serve is 20 g, which gives about 70 kcal, 1.9 g protein and 1.5 g fibre. The only mineral declared is calcium, at 5.1 mg per 100 g.
The front promises a gluten-free snack of farm-fresh quality, and with one ingredient and no additives the pack has little to hide. The listing talks up protein and minerals more than the panel supports, since protein is modest and only calcium is declared. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why Farmley Prasadam Makhana scores CA2
Nutrition is a C because protein is 9.7 g per 100 g and only calcium is declared. Ingredients are an A for a single ingredient, and risk is a 2 because energy is the only load, at 350 kcal per 100 g.
Adequate nutrient density

- 9.7 g
- Fibre
- 7.6 g
- Vitamins and minerals
- Calcium
- Energy
- 350 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 9.7 g per 100 g and fibre is 7.6 g, so a 20 g serve gives about 1.9 g protein and 1.5 g fibre. Fat is 0.1 g and there is no sugar, but the rest of the 350 kcal is carbohydrate, 77 g per 100 g.
Calcium at 5.1 mg per 100 g is the only micronutrient declared, so nothing else adds to 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
The list is foxnuts and nothing else: no additives, no oil, no sweetener, no flavouring. No ingredient costs ingredient points, and none of the pack's promises is hollow.
No percentage is shown, which is normal when there is only one ingredient.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk

- Sodium

- Saturated fat

- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sugar, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium are all 0 on the panel, so none of them adds to risk. The only load is energy, 350 kcal per 100 g, and that sets the 2.
In a 20 g serve the energy is about 70 kcal, so risk stays low at normal portions.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
