Why Organic Tattva Organic Besan scores BA2

01 Nutrition density: why B

Protein is 22.34 g per 100 g, all from the chana dal, and fibre is 9.97 g. Potassium of 795.6 mg is declared as well. Those numbers carry the B.

No iron, calcium or vitamins are declared on the panel, so nothing more adds to 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.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A

The list is a single ingredient, organic chana dal, with no additives, no sweetener, no added fat and no flavouring. Nothing costs ingredient points.

No front-of-pack promise is hollow: the 100% chana dal and gluten-free statements match the list, so the label integrity check finds nothing to mark.

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

03 Load risk: why 2

Energy is the main driver of the 2: 414 kcal per 100 g, which is what any dry flour carries. Saturated fat is 0.76 g per 100 g, well under the 5 g high line.

Added sugar is 0 g, trans fat is 0 g and sodium is just 18.81 mg per 100 g, so those three add almost nothing.

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

Does Organic Tattva Organic Besan live up to its claims?

The protein, 100% chana dal and gluten-free claims hold. The pesticide-free claim rests on organic certification printed on the pack, and the listing's vitamin and mineral claims are not on the panel.

  • On the pack

    “Rich in Protein”

    Holds

    22.34 g protein per 100 g, all from chana dal.

  • On the pack

    “100% Chana Dal”

    Holds

    The ingredient list is organic chana dal and nothing else.

  • On the pack

    “Gluten Free”

    Holds

    Chana dal is gluten free by nature, and the pack says so with an asterisk. No wheat or other grain is listed.

  • On the pack

    “Pesticide and Chemical Free*”

    Be careful

    The claim carries an asterisk and rests on the organic certification printed on the back (NPOP and USDA NOP, certified by Control Union). A certificate is not something the ingredient list or panel can confirm.

  • Retail listing

    “Contains iron, copper, phosphorous, B-complex, folate”

    Be careful

    The retailer page lists these minerals and vitamins, but the pack panel declares only potassium at 795.6 mg per 100 g.

What to know about Organic Tattva Organic Besan

One-ingredient gram flour with 22 g protein

Organic Tattva Organic Besan is a 500 g pack of gram flour with one ingredient: organic chana dal. It is bought for pakoras, chillas, kadhi and sweets, and by shoppers who want an organic, additive-free flour. The pack lists no percentage because there is nothing else in it.

Per 100 g the panel shows 414 kcal, 22.34 g protein, 9.97 g fibre, 61.95 g carbohydrate, 3.29 g total sugar (none added), 6.34 g fat and 0.76 g saturated fat. Sodium is 18.81 mg and potassium is 795.6 mg. The pack prints a serve of 100 g and five serves per pack, so one serve has the same numbers.
