Why Fortune Indori Poha scores DB2

Nutrition is a D because the flakes are mostly starch, with 7.7 g protein and 4.3 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are a B for a single plain ingredient, and risk is a 2, driven only by energy.

01 Nutrition density: why D

Protein is 7.7 g per 100 g and fibre is 4.3 g. In one 30 g serve that is 2.3 g protein and 1.3 g fibre. All of the protein comes from rice, which keeps the protein credit low.

Only phosphorus (182.8 mg per 100 g) is declared, so there are no vitamins or minerals to add to the grade. Energy is 359.9 kcal per 100 g, almost all from 77.1 g of carbohydrate.

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 is a single item, rice flakes. There are no additives, no sugar, no added fat and no flavouring, and no label promise is hollow, so nothing costs ingredient points.

The grade stops short of the top because the ingredient is a processed grain rather than a varied food, and the pack gives no percentage for the single ingredient.

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

03 Load risk: why 2

Energy is the only real driver: 359.9 kcal per 100 g sets the risk number at 2. Added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0.3 g and trans fat is 0.01 g.

Sodium is 0.8 mg per 100 g, close to none, so salt plays no part. The risk comes from the calorie density of a dry grain, which drops once the flakes are soaked and cooked.

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

Does Fortune Indori Poha live up to its claims?

The name and the fibre and protein statement hold up in a modest way. Origin and hygiene statements describe the process and cannot be checked from the numbers.

  • Product name

    “Indori Poha (thick)”

    Holds

    The only ingredient is rice flakes, so the name matches the contents. The pack shows no percentage, which is unneeded for a one-item list.

  • On the pack

    “Source of Dietary Fibre & Protein”

    Be careful

    True, but modest: 4.3 g fibre and 7.7 g protein per 100 g, which is 1.3 g and 2.3 g in a 30 g serve.

  • On the pack

    “Made from Chhattisgarh Rice”

    Be careful

    The ingredient list says only rice flakes and gives no origin. The claim is a statement about sourcing that the label data cannot confirm.

  • On the pack

    “Hygienically Processed”

    Be careful

    This describes how the flakes are made. It says nothing about nutrition, and no additive or preservative is listed.

What's in Fortune Indori Poha?

Rice flakes are the only ingredient, with no additives, no sugar and no oil listed. There is little to watch beyond the starch load.

How we rate additives →

1 ingredient listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

Rice flakes are the only ingredient, with no percentage given. They are flattened rice, so the list holds no sugar, oil, salt, preservative or flavouring. The pack's own suggestions are to rinse, soak for 10 minutes and garnish with ratlami sev and coriander.

Ingredients to watch

  • Starch loadWorth watching

    77.1 g carbohydrate per 100 g, about 23.1 g in a 30 g serve, with 359.9 kcal per 100 g. This is what holds the nutrition grade down.

  • Modest proteinWorth watching

    7.7 g per 100 g, 2.3 g per serve, all from rice. A plate of poha alone gives little protein.

  • Single ingredientFine

    Rice flakes only: no additives, no added sugar, no added fat.

  • Sugar, saturated fat and sodiumFine

    0 g added sugar, 0.3 g saturated fat and 0.8 mg sodium per 100 g.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamins or minerals are declared apart from phosphorus.

What to know about Fortune Indori Poha

One-ingredient rice flakes with modest protein

Fortune Indori Poha (Thick) is a 500 g pack of thick flattened rice flakes. The ingredient list has one item, rice flakes, with no percentage. The pack says it is made from Chhattisgarh rice and is meant for Indori-style poha, soaked for 10 minutes and finished with ratlami sev and coriander.

A 30 g serve of dry flakes gives about 108 kcal, 2.3 g protein, 1.3 g fibre and 23.1 g carbohydrate. Per 100 g that is 359.9 kcal, 7.7 g protein, 4.3 g fibre, 77.1 g carbohydrate and 1.3 g fat. Sugar is 0.5 g, with 0 g added, and sodium is 0.8 mg.

The pack's claims are mostly about texture, origin and process: super soft, hygienically processed, a source of fibre and protein. The numbers support the fibre and protein statement in a modest way, and nothing on the label is hollow. CleanPlate scores it DB2.

Recipes with Fortune Indori Poha

Classic Indori poha, vegetable poha and a protein-topped plate all start from the same flakes. Vegetables and protein make up for what the flakes lack.

Classic Indori poha

Rinse and soak the flakes for 10 minutes, cook, then top with ratlami sev and coriander. The sev adds the fat and salt the flakes lack.

Vegetable poha

Cook peas, carrot or onion in with the flakes to add fibre beyond the 1.3 g in a 30 g serve.

Peanut or egg poha

Add roasted peanuts or serve with an egg to lift protein above the 2.3 g per serve the flakes give.
