Why Jabsons Roasted Peanuts Hing Jeera scores EB4

Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 20 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- Niacin
- Energy
- 630 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 20 g per 100 g, or 6 g in a 30 g serve, mostly from the peanuts themselves. That is real, but the grade stays at the bottom because the same peanuts bring 52 g fat and 630 kcal per 100 g.
Niacin at 11 mg per 100 g adds a little. No fibre is declared on the panel, so little 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 B
Peanuts at 85% lead a short list, and the peanuts, cumin and asafoetida all carry a declared percentage. There are no colours, no preservatives and no flavourings listed, and nothing on the pack contradicts the list, so there is no label penalty.
The processed parts are the refined cottonseed oil and the maltodextrin, a low-tier additive that does not cost ingredient points here. Chilli and salt have no percentage, which is the only small gap.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 3 g
- Sodium
- 630 mg
- Saturated fat
- 9 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Energy is the biggest driver: 630 kcal per 100 g, 190 kcal per serve. Saturated fat comes next at 9 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, then sodium at 630 mg per 100 g.
Added sugar is 3 g per 100 g, about 1 g per serve, so it plays only a small part. Trans fat is declared as 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High sodium (630mg per 100g)

Does Jabsons Roasted Peanuts Hing Jeera live up to its claims?
The protein, no-preservative and no-artificial-flavour claims hold. The hing and jeera are real but small, at 4% and 0.5%, and the guilt-free wording glosses over the energy and fat.
- On the packHolds
“6 Grams of Protein per Serving”
The panel shows 20 g protein per 100 g, so a 30 g serve has 6 g.
- On the packPartly true
“Seasoned with Asafoetida & Cumin”
Both are in the list, but small: cumin (jeera) is 4% and asafoetida (hing) is 0.5%. Peanuts are 85%.
- On the packHolds
“No Preservative”
No preservative appears in the ingredient list.

“No Artificial Flavour, No Artificial Colour”

- On the packBe careful
“Guilt-free, wholesome snacking”
The ingredients are plain, but a 30 g serve still has 190 kcal, 16 g fat and 3 g saturated fat, so portion size matters.
What's in Jabsons Roasted Peanuts Hing Jeera?
Peanuts at 85% lead, followed by refined cottonseed oil and a small spice and salt mix. Maltodextrin is the only additive, and it is low tier.
7 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern.
The ingredient list, read for you
Peanuts (85%) lead, followed by refined cottonseed oil, which carries the seasoning and gives the roast its gloss. Cumin (jeera 4%), chilli and asafoetida (hing 0.5%) supply the flavour, and iodized salt seasons it. Maltodextrin, a starch-based carbohydrate, helps the spice mix cling to the nuts.
The label numbers, read for you
Fat and energy decide the grade: 52 g fat and 630 kcal per 100 g, which is 16 g fat and 190 kcal in a 30 g serve of about 2/5 cup. Saturated fat is 9 g per 100 g, 3 g per serve.
Protein is 20 g per 100 g, 6 g per serve, and sodium is 630 mg per 100 g, 190 mg per serve. Added sugar is small at 3 g per 100 g, and the panel declares no fibre.
What the additives do
