Our take
CleanPlate reviewGhee rava upma that comes with a bhujia sachet
MOM Ghee Rava Upma With Bhujia has two parts: an upma mix of semolina (71%), sunflower oil, ghee (4%), sugar, salt, cashew, urad dal, spices, carrot, curry leaves, flavour and lemon powder, and a bhujia sachet of moth and gram flours, oils and spices.
CleanPlate scores it DB4. The D for nutrition is low: only 4 g fibre per 100 g and little else credited; its 10 g of protein earns no credit because it is under 2.75 g per 100 kcal. The B for ingredients reflects a mix of whole and refined ingredients (led by semolina, edible vegetable oil and ghee), with additives that cost points: flavouring. The 4 for risk comes mainly from sodium (1130 mg per 100 g) and saturated fat (3 g per 100 g).
