Why Sattviko Cream & Onion Flavoured Makhana scores EA4

Nutrition is an E because protein is modest and no fibre or vitamins are declared. Ingredients are an A, led by makhana at 60%. Risk is a 4, driven by 748 mg sodium per 100 g.

How we score →

01 Nutrition densityA to E

Very low nutrient density

Protein: 7.2 g
Fibre: Not declared
Vitamins and minerals: None declared
Energy: 521 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is 7.2 g per 100 g, which is low against 521 kcal, and nothing else lifts the grade. No fibre is declared and there are no vitamins or minerals on the panel.

Most of the energy is fat: 28 g per 100 g from rice bran oil, against 60.1 g carbohydrate. That leaves the nutrition grade 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 integrityA to E

Clean, minimally processed

Base: Makhana
Main fat: Edible Vegetable Oil
Sweeteners: Sugar, Maltodextrin
Additives: 4
Flagged: Maltodextrin

02 Ingredient integrity: why A

Makhana leads at a declared 60%, followed by rice bran oil, sugar, cheese powder and salt. No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared 0 g trans fat is accepted, and no label claim is found hollow.

Nature-identical flavouring and the anticaking agent silicon dioxide (INS 551) each cost ingredient points. Citric acid (INS 330) and lactic acid (INS 270) cost none.

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

High risk

Added sugar: 3.4 g
Sodium: 748 mg
Saturated fat: 6.7 g
Trans fat: 0 g

03 Load risk: why 4

Sodium is the biggest driver at 748 mg per 100 g, about 187 mg in a 25 g serve. Energy at 521 kcal per 100 g and saturated fat at 6.7 g per 100 g, above the 5 g high line, add to it.

Added sugar is 3.4 g per 100 g, a small part of the risk number. Trans fat is 0 g. Together the parts land on a 4.

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

Red flags

Red flag: High sodium (748mg per 100g)
Red flag: High saturated fat (6.7g)
Red flag: Contains Maltodextrin

Green flags

Nothing stands out in its favour.

Does Sattviko Cream & Onion Flavoured Makhana live up to its claims?

The probiotic claim holds, but low in calories does not sit well with 521 kcal per 100 g. The herb count differs between front and back, and the serve size differs between pack and retailer page.

Product name
“Cream & Onion”
Partly true
The flavour is real but small: cheese powder, milk solids at 2% and onion powder at 1%, with natural and nature-identical flavouring added.
Retail listing
“Low in calories”
Be careful
A 25 g serve has about 130 kcal, but the snack has 521 kcal per 100 g because makhana is roasted and coated in rice bran oil. Fat is 28 g per 100 g.
On the pack
“Added Probiotics = 500 million CFU”
Holds
Bacillus coagulans is listed at 500 million CFU. The label gives this figure per pack, not per serve.
On the pack
“Enriched with 13 Yogic Herbs”
Be careful
The front says 13 herbs and the back says 15, while the herb list names 13. Amounts are not given, and only black pepper and parsley appear in the main ingredient list.
On the pack
“25 g serve”
Be careful
The retailer page shows a 10 g serve, the pack shows 25 g. Per 100 g values match. A 10 g serve would be about 52 kcal and 75 mg sodium.

What's in Sattviko Cream & Onion Flavoured Makhana?

Makhana, rice bran oil, sugar, cheese powder and salt lead the list. Watch the sodium and the oil. The only additives that cost points are flavouring and the anticaking agent.

How we rate additives →

15 ingredients listed. Additives and watched ingredients we rate: 1 low concern. 3 more entries look like additives we have not researched yet.

The ingredient list, read for you

Makhana comes first at 60%, then rice bran oil, sugar, cheese powder and salt, so the snack is roasted seeds coated in oil and a savoury cheese seasoning. Milk solids (2%) and onion powder (1%) add the cream and onion taste, with maltodextrin, black pepper and parsley.

Citric and lactic acid regulate acidity, silicon dioxide (INS 551) keeps the seasoning free-flowing, and nature-identical flavouring rounds out the taste. A probiotic, Bacillus coagulans, is added, and the pack lists 13 yogic herbs separately.

What the additives do

Maltodextrin (low concern): filler and thickener. A highly processed carbohydrate from starch, used as a filler and thickener. It raises blood sugar quickly. More on Maltodextrin.

Not in our additive research yet: INS 330; INS 270; Anticaking Agent (INS 551).

What to know about Sattviko Cream & Onion Flavoured Makhana

Makhana base, but oil and salt set the score

A flavoured roasted makhana (fox nut) snack: makhana (60%), rice bran oil, sugar, cheese powder, salt, milk solids (2%) and onion powder (1%), with maltodextrin, black pepper, parsley, two acidity regulators, a probiotic, an anticaking agent and flavouring. It is sold to people who want a crunchy, cheesy snack that feels lighter than chips, with yoga-style branding and added probiotics.

A 25 g serve, the size printed on the pack, gives about 130 kcal, 1.8 g protein, 7 g fat and 187 mg sodium. Per 100 g the numbers are 521 kcal, 7.2 g protein, 28 g fat (6.7 g saturated), 3.4 g added sugar and 748 mg sodium. The calories come mostly from the oil the makhana is roasted in and coated with.

The pack gets the base right: makhana leads the list at a declared 60%, with no colours, no hydrogenated fat and no trans fat. The cream and onion taste comes from a small amount of cheese powder, milk solids and onion powder, plus flavouring. The front also calls it low in calories, which sits oddly beside 521 kcal per 100 g. CleanPlate scores it EA4.

A 25 g serve is only a small handful of puffed seeds, and it is light on the plate: about 130 kcal. That is the sensible way to read this snack. It crunches and tastes of cheese and onion, and the ingredient list is simpler than most flavoured snacks, with makhana at 60% and no colours.

What it does not give you is much nutrition. Protein is 7.2 g per 100 g, so a serve has under 2 g, and no fibre, vitamins or minerals are declared. Sodium is the number to watch: 748 mg per 100 g, so a generous bowl of 50 g takes about 374 mg. The pack suggests eating it daily after a workout, but the salt and oil make a daily habit hard to justify.

It suits an occasional snack, measured out rather than eaten from the pack. No other snack comparison improves the numbers by much here, so the real trade-off is simple: a cleaner ingredient list against a salty, oil-coated, energy-dense snack.

Who should eat Sattviko Cream & Onion Flavoured Makhana?

An occasional snack for most adults and children, and rarely for anyone watching blood pressure, since 25 g carries about 187 mg sodium.

Most adultsOccasionally
748 mg sodium per 100 g and 521 kcal per 100 g, with little protein.
ChildrenOccasionally
A 25 g serve has about 187 mg sodium and gives little nutrition.
High blood pressureRarely
748 mg sodium per 100 g adds up quickly beyond a small handful.
Weight managementOccasionally
About 130 kcal per 25 g serve, but 521 kcal per 100 g makes it easy to overeat.
