CleanPlate review

Sprouted dosa mix with a failing fibre claim

Gladful Sprouted Protein Ragi Dosa-Uttapam mix is sprouted moth, urad dal, besan, sprouted ragi and rice, with a spice mix (salt, methi seeds, curry leaves, cumin) and a leavening agent (INS 500ii). The 200 g pack serves five (2 dosas, 40 g).

CleanPlate scores it [L]DA1. The D for nutrition is low: only 13 g protein per 100 g and little else credited. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by sprouted moth, urad dal and besan), and almost no additives. The [L] marks a hollow label promise: the claim "Source of fiber" does not hold: fibre 2.4 g under the source line. The 1 for risk is low: sodium, free sugar and saturated fat are all modest (sodium 242 mg, free sugar 0 g, saturated fat 0 g per 100 g).

Claims vs reality

What the pack says, checked against the ingredient list and nutrition panel.

  • On the pack

    “Source of fiber”

    Misleading

    2.4 g per 100 g (0.8 g per 100 kcal) is below the 3 g per 100 g and 1.5 g per 100 kcal source lines.

  • On the pack

    “High Protein”

    Be careful

    The panel prints 13.0 g per 100 g, over the 11 g line, but its own 4.3 g per 40 g serve works out to 10.75 g per 100 g, just under it.

  • On the pack

    “Gluten free ingredients”

    Be careful

    The grains used are gluten-free, but the pack says it is made in a facility that processes barley, rye and wheat.

  • On the pack

    “No maida”

    Holds

    No maida is listed.

A closer look

Does the label add up?

Sprouted moth, urad dal, besan, sprouted ragi, rice, spice mix (salt, methi seeds, curry leaves, cumin) and leavening agent (500ii).

Per 100 g: 299 kcal, 1.4 g fat of which 0 g saturated, 0 g sugar of which 0 g added, 2.4 g fibre, 13 g protein, 242 mg sodium. Read from the clear promo card (nutrition confidence low): the blurred back-of-pack mock-up may read 288 kcal and 10.7 g of protein, which the listing text also said. The card prints protein 13.0 g per 100 g but 4.3 g per serve. No percentages are declared, and ragi, which is in the name, is fourth on the list (2 label points). Dry mix as sold.

Ingredients to watch

  • Fibre claimConcern

    "Source of fiber" on the front, but 2.4 g per 100 g is under the source line.

  • Panel conflictWorth watching

    Protein is 13.0 g per 100 g on the card, 4.3 g per 40 g serve (10.75 g per 100 g) in the same panel.

  • Ragi share not declaredWorth watching

    Ragi is in the name but has no percentage.

  • Short listFine

    No sugar, palm oil or maida, and only a leavening agent as an additive.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Ragi mixes are high in fibre"

This one declares 2.4 g per 100 g, below the "source of fibre" line.

Myth: "High protein means a big protein serving"

A 40 g serve gives 4.3 g, about the protein of a small egg.

Smarter ways to eat it

Add vegetables

Fold grated carrot or onion into the batter for fibre.

Pair with chutney

Serve with a coconut or peanut chutney for protein.
