What to know about Let's Try Salted Jeera Papad
A short, clean list on a fried, starchy base
Let's Try Salted Jeera Papad is a fried, ready-to-eat papad built from rice flour, refined groundnut oil and tapioca starch, with iodised salt, cumin and a raising agent (INS 500(ii)). It is sold in a 50 g pack as a crunchy side or tea-time snack, and no ingredient percentages are declared.
A 10 g serve has 49 kcal, 0.5 g protein, 2.4 g fat and 51 mg sodium, so the 50 g pack is five serves. Per 100 g the numbers are 490 kcal, 5.4 g protein, 24.1 g fat, 3.9 g saturated fat and 510 mg sodium, with no sugar at all. The cost is calories and salt, not sugar.
The pack promises groundnut oil only, no oil mixing, no cholesterol and no trans fat, and the ingredient list backs the oil and trans fat claims. Cumin is listed but sits low in the list, behind the flour, oil, starch and salt. CleanPlate scores it EB4.
Why Let's Try Salted Jeera Papad scores EB4
Nutrition is an E because the papad is mostly starch and oil with little protein. Ingredients are a B on a short, additive-light list. Risk is a 4 on 510 mg sodium and 490 kcal per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 5.4 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 490 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 5.4 g per 100 g, and the largest share comes from rice flour, a low-quality protein source, so the protein earns little credit. The rest of the energy comes from starch and 24.1 g of fat per 100 g.
No vitamins, minerals or fibre are declared, so nothing lifts the grade. A 10 g serve gives 49 kcal and 0.5 g protein.
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 short and plain: rice flour, refined groundnut oil, tapioca starch, iodised salt, cumin and a raising agent. The only additive is sodium carbonate (INS 500(ii)), which costs no ingredient points.
No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared 0 g trans fat is accepted. Ingredient percentages are not declared, which is the main thing holding the grade below the top.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 510 mg
- Saturated fat
- 3.9 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the biggest driver at 510 mg per 100 g, followed by energy at 490 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat is 3.9 g per 100 g, under the 5 g high line, so it adds less.
Sugar is 0 g, so it plays no part. In a 10 g serve the figures are small (51 mg sodium, 0.4 g saturated fat), but the risk grade is set per 100 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
