Why MTR Roasted Vermicelli scores EA2

How we score →

01 Nutrition densityA to E

Very low nutrient density

Protein: 10.5 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: None declared
Energy: 347 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 10.5 g per 100 g, which is 5.3 g in a 50 g serve, but it comes from wheat, a lower-quality protein source, so the protein credit is halved. Carbohydrate is 75 g per 100 g and fat is only 0.6 g.

Fibre is not declared and no vitamins or minerals are listed, so nothing else lifts the grade above 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 integrityA to E

Clean, minimally processed

Base: Wheat semolina
Sweeteners: None added
Additives: 0
Flagged: None

02 Ingredient integrity: why A

The list is one item, wheat semolina, with no additives, no refined oil and no sweetener. There are no label-integrity penalties, so the ingredients score has nothing taken off it.

No Added Maida is true, and the 100% wheat claim matches the list.

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

03 Load risk1 to 5

Low risk

Added sugar: 0 g
Sodium: 2 mg
Saturated fat: 0.1 g
Trans fat: 0 g

03 Load risk: why 2

Risk comes almost entirely from energy: 347 kcal per 100 g sets the number. Added sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0.1 g and sodium is 2 mg, so those add almost nothing.

No trans fat is declared and no hydrogenated fat is listed.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does MTR Roasted Vermicelli live up to its claims?

No Added Maida and Source of Protein both hold, and the list is 100% wheat semolina. The framing to note is that semolina is itself a refined wheat product, with 10.5 g protein per 100 g.

What to know about MTR Roasted Vermicelli

Plain wheat semolina, 347 kcal, almost no sodium

MTR Roasted Vermicelli is a 400 g pack of vermicelli made from one ingredient, wheat semolina, extruded and roasted. It is bought as a kitchen staple for vegetable upma, vegetable pulao and kheer, and the pack says it is pre-roasted so it cooks quickly.

Per 100 g of dry vermicelli the panel shows 347 kcal, 10.5 g protein, 75 g carbohydrate, 0.6 g fat and 2 mg sodium. The pack's serving size is about 50 g as sold, which is about 174 kcal and 5.3 g protein. Added sugar is 0 g, and fibre and vitamins are not declared.

The pack says No Added Maida and 100% Wheat (Suji), and the list backs both: wheat semolina is the only ingredient. What it does not carry is fibre or vitamins, because semolina is a refined wheat product. CleanPlate scores it EA2.

Recipes with MTR Roasted Vermicelli

Vermicelli takes well to vegetables, dal or milk. Pair it with vegetables for fibre in upma and pulao, and add sugar to kheer to your own taste.

Vegetable upma

Cook the vermicelli with onion, carrot and beans, since the dry vermicelli declares no fibre and the vegetables supply it.

Vegetable pulao

Add peas, carrot and spices, so the 75 g carbohydrate per 100 g comes with some vegetable content.

Vermicelli kheer

Roast lightly and simmer in milk. The vermicelli has 0 g added sugar, so you decide how much sweetener goes in.
