What to know about Sattviko Caramel Roasted Flavoured Makhana
Makhana snack where sugar leads at 59%
A 42 g pack of roasted makhana (fox nuts) coated in a caramel-style mix. The list reads sugar (59%), makhana (17%), liquid glucose, milk solids, sesame seeds (4%), salt, cocoa powder, baking soda and soy lecithin. It is bought as a lighter, crunchy alternative to chips and a snack to eat after yoga or a workout.
Per 100 g the panel shows 420 kcal, 5 g protein, 60 g total sugar (59 g of it added), 13 g fat with 5 g saturated, and 340 mg sodium. The pack prints a 20 g serve, two per pack, which is 84 kcal, 1 g protein and 11.8 g added sugar. The whole 42 g pack is about 176 kcal and 25 g added sugar.
The pack says Roasted Makhana, and the makhana is real, but sugar outweighs it more than three to one. The back suggests eating it daily after yoga for better healing, which the sugar figure does not support. No dyes or preservatives are listed, and no hydrogenated fat. CleanPlate scores it EB5.
Why Sattviko Caramel Roasted Flavoured Makhana scores EB5
Nutrition is an E on 5 g protein per 100 g and a sugar-heavy base. Ingredients are a B with no dyes or preservatives, and risk is a 5 because of 59 g added sugar per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 5 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 420 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 5 g per 100 g, about 1 g in a 20 g serve, and it comes mostly from the makhana. With no fibre, vitamins or minerals declared, almost nothing adds to the grade.
Energy is 420 kcal per 100 g, driven by a coating that is mostly sugar and glucose, so the nutrition grade stays 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 short and recognisable: sugar, makhana, liquid glucose, milk solids, sesame, salt and cocoa. No colours, flavour additives or hydrogenated fat are listed, and trans fat is declared as 0 g.
Soy lecithin (322) costs a single ingredient point. Baking soda (500) costs none. Percentages are given only for sugar, makhana and sesame seeds, but no hollow label promise is found.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar
- 59 g
- Sodium
- 340 mg
- Saturated fat
- 5 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 5
Sugar drives the risk number: 59 g added sugar per 100 g, about 11.8 g in a 20 g serve and 25 g in the pack. It makes up most of the risk score and lands it on the top grade, a 5.
Saturated fat is 5 g per 100 g and sodium is 340 mg per 100 g (68 mg per serve), so both add a little. Trans fat is 0 g.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
