What to know about Mother's Recipe Rice Papad - Jeera
A rice-flour papad that is nearly all starch
Mother's Recipe Rice Papad Jeera is a papad built on rice flour (91%), with iodized salt, tapioca (sago) flour, refined wheat flour (maida) and cumin (1%). It is bought as a crunchy side for meals and snacks, and the cumin gives it the jeera flavour in the name.
Per 100 g it gives 201 kcal, 4 g protein, 44 g carbohydrate, 0.5 g fat and no sugar, saturated fat or trans fat. It costs very little in the usual problem nutrients. It also adds very little beyond starch: no fibre or vitamins are declared, and the panel prints no sodium figure even though salt is second on the list.
The pack promises a crispy, flavourful papad, and the list backs the rice and the cumin, though cumin is just 1%. Nothing on the front claims more than the ingredients can support. CleanPlate scores it EB1.
Why Mother's Recipe Rice Papad - Jeera scores EB1
Nutrition is an E because the papad is mostly starch, with 4 g protein per 100 g and no fibre declared. Ingredients are a B on a short, additive-free list, and risk is a 1 with 0 g sugar and saturated fat.

- Energy

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 4 g per 100 g, almost all from rice flour, and carbohydrate is 44 g. No fibre is declared, so nothing offsets the starch.
No vitamins or minerals are declared either, so the grade has nothing to build on and lands at the bottom.
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 five plain items: rice flour at 91%, iodized salt, tapioca flour, refined wheat flour and cumin at 1%. No additive, colour, flavour or hydrogenated fat appears, and no label promise is hollow.
Refined wheat flour is a minor refined element, and the percentages of the salt, sago flour and wheat flour are not declared. Neither takes the grade far from a B.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 1
Sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g per 100 g, and energy is 201 kcal. Nothing there pushes the risk number above 1.
The panel prints no sodium line, so salt does not count towards this number even though it is on the list.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Mother's Recipe Rice Papad - Jeera live up to its claims?
The rice claim holds, with rice flour at 91%. Cumin is a real but small 1%, and the quality wording is framing rather than a measurable promise.
- Product namePartly true
“Rice Papad Jeera”
Rice flour is 91%, so the rice holds. Cumin is real but only 1% of the papad.
- On the packBe careful
“Finest ingredients, quality papads”
The list is short and has no additives, but it includes refined wheat flour. It is a plain rice-based list, not a standout one.
- On the packBe careful
“Ideal Appetizer”
It is a light, low-fat side at 0.5 g fat per 100 g as sold. It adds 44 g carbohydrate and only 4 g protein per 100 g.

Rice flour, salt, sago flour, wheat flour and cumin, with no additives. The salt is the one to watch, since the panel prints no sodium figure.
