What to know about MOM Roasted Pudina Flavoured Makhana

Crunchy fox nuts, but 1,260 mg sodium per 100 g

A roasted fox nut (makhana) snack: makhana at 60%, sunflower oil, and a seasoning of chilli, coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger and fenugreek with corn starch, salt, sugar, mango powder, pudina powder, flavourings, flavour enhancers, acidity regulators and an anticaking agent. It is bought by people who want a light, crunchy snack with a bit more going for it than a bag of chips.

Per 100 g it has 500 kcal, 7 g protein, 4 g fibre, 24 g fat (2 g saturated) and 1,260 mg sodium, about 4 g of salt. The printed serve is 20 g, which gives 100 kcal, 1.4 g protein, 0.8 g fibre and 252 mg sodium. Iron (5.2 mg), calcium (175 mg) and potassium (660 mg) per 100 g are declared too.

The name promises pudina, and the list does carry pudina powder, but at only 0.3% of the seasoning, with natural and nature-identical flavour doing much of the work. The makhana itself is the real base. CleanPlate scores it BB4.

Why MOM Roasted Pudina Flavoured Makhana scores BB4

Nutrition is a B on 7 g protein, 4 g fibre and useful iron, calcium and potassium per 100 g. Ingredients are a B, held back by flavourings, flavour enhancers and silicon dioxide. Risk is a 4, driven by 1,260 mg sodium per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why B

Protein is 7 g per 100 g and fibre is 4 g, with makhana the largest protein contributor. In a 20 g serve that is 1.4 g protein and 0.8 g fibre, so the grade is not about bulk protein.

What lifts it is minerals: 5.2 mg iron, 175 mg calcium and 660 mg potassium per 100 g. Vitamin D is 0.

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

Makhana at 60% and sunflower oil lead, which is a short, recognisable start. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared 0 g trans fat stands.

The seasoning is where points go. Nature-identical flavouring, flavour enhancers 627 and 631, and the anticaking agent silicon dioxide (551) each cost ingredient points. Citric acid (330) and malic acid (296) cost nothing. No total is declared for the seasoning, and no label promise is hollow.

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

03 Load risk: why 4

Sodium is the main driver: 1,260 mg per 100 g, about 252 mg in a 20 g serve, well above what a snack of this size should carry.

Energy adds a smaller share at 500 kcal per 100 g. Saturated fat (2 g), added sugar (1 g) and trans fat (0 g) barely move the number.

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 (1260mg per 100g)

Green flags

  • Green flag: Source of fibre

Does MOM Roasted Pudina Flavoured Makhana live up to its claims?

The pudina name is honest but thin at 0.3% of the seasoning, and the no artificial flavours claim sits beside nature-identical flavour. The fibre claim on the retailer page is stronger than 4 g per 100 g supports.

  • Product name

    “Pudina flavoured”

    Partly true

    Pudina powder is real but only 0.3% of the seasoning, and natural and nature-identical flavour is listed as well. The name reads as a flavour, which is honest.

  • On the pack

    “No artificial flavours”

    Be careful

    The list shows flavour (natural and nature-identical). Nature-identical is not strictly artificial, but it is a made flavour, and it costs ingredient points.

  • On the pack

    “Source of protein”

    Be careful

    Protein is 7 g per 100 g, 1.4 g in a 20 g serve, about 6% of the calories. It is real but modest.

  • Retail listing

    “High in fiber”

    Be careful

    The retailer page says high in fibre, the pack shows 4 g per 100 g, which is 0.8 g in a 20 g serve.

  • Retail listing

    “Saturated fat and olive oil”

    Be careful

    The retailer page shows saturated fat 4 g and olive oil, the pack shows saturated fat 2 g per 100 g and sunflower oil.

What's in MOM Roasted Pudina Flavoured Makhana?

Makhana at 60% and sunflower oil lead the list, followed by a spice seasoning with salt, flavourings and flavour enhancers. Salt is the one to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Makhana (fox nuts) at 60% leads, followed by sunflower oil, which carries the seasoning and gives the crunch a rounded taste. The seasoning is a spice mix (chilli, coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, fenugreek) with corn starch, iodized salt, sugar and mango powder, plus pudina powder at 0.3%.

Natural and nature-identical flavour, flavour enhancers 627 and 631, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and acidity regulators 330 and 296 build the savoury, tangy taste. Silicon dioxide (551) keeps the seasoning free-flowing. Soy is flagged as an allergen.

Ingredients to watch

  • SodiumConcern

    1,260 mg per 100 g, about 4 g of salt. A 20 g serve has 252 mg, and it comes from the salt, black salt and flavour enhancers in the seasoning.

  • Flavourings, flavour enhancers and silicon dioxideWorth watching

    Nature-identical flavouring, 627 and 631, and silicon dioxide (551) each cost ingredient points. Citric and malic acids do not.

  • EnergyWorth watching

    500 kcal per 100 g, 100 kcal in a 20 g serve, with 24 g fat per 100 g from the oil. Saturated fat stays low at 2 g.

  • Makhana baseFine

    60% of the pack, bringing 7 g protein, 4 g fibre, and iron, calcium and potassium per 100 g.

What it doesn’t have

  • No total is declared for the seasoning, so its share of the pack is unclear.
  • Vitamin D is 0 on the panel.

Who should eat MOM Roasted Pudina Flavoured Makhana?

An occasional snack for most adults and children, and rarely for anyone watching blood pressure, since 20 g carries 252 mg sodium.

  • Most adultsOccasionally

    20 g carries 252 mg sodium, and salt drives the risk grade.

  • ChildrenOccasionally

    Salty seasoning with flavour enhancers in a small, easy-to-overeat snack.

  • High blood pressureRarely

    1,260 mg sodium per 100 g, with 252 mg in a 20 g serve.

  • Weight managementOccasionally

    100 kcal per 20 g serve, and 500 kcal per 100 g makes handfuls add up.
