What to know about Oleev Kitchen No Maida Durum Wheat Macaroni
One-ingredient pasta, mostly plain starch
Oleev Kitchen No Maida Durum Wheat Macaroni is dry macaroni made from a single ingredient, durum wheat semolina. No percentage is printed, since nothing else is in the list. It is bought as a plain pasta base for mac and cheese, baked macaroni or a quick sauce, by people who want pasta without maida.
Per 100 g it has 357 kcal, 10.5 g protein, 76 g carbohydrate, 3 g fibre and 3 g fat, with 0 g sugar, 0 g saturated fat and 6.8 mg sodium. The pack serve is 50 g, which gives 178.5 kcal, 5.3 g protein and 1.5 g fibre before any sauce is added.
The front says 0% maida, and the list agrees: it is durum semolina only. The protein and fibre are real but modest, and the pack is mostly starch. CleanPlate scores it DA2.
Why Oleev Kitchen No Maida Durum Wheat Macaroni scores DA2

Low nutrient density

- Fibre

- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 357 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 10.5 g per 100 g and fibre is 3 g, so a 50 g serve gives 5.3 g protein and 1.5 g fibre. Almost all the protein comes from the semolina itself, a wheat protein, so it holds no extra value.
Carbohydrate is 76 g per 100 g and no vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade.
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.

03 Load risk: why 2
Energy is almost the whole of the risk number: 357 kcal per 100 g, or 178.5 kcal per 50 g serve. Sugar, saturated fat and trans fat are all 0 g.
Sodium is only 6.8 mg per 100 g, so it adds next to nothing. Salt in the cooking water is the cook's choice, and the pack suggests boiling in salted water.
