What to know about Sattviko Gur Roasted Flavoured Makhana
More jaggery than makhana in the bag
A 42 g pack of roasted makhana (lotus seeds) coated in jaggery, with rice bran oil, sesame seeds and rock salt. The pack declares jaggery at 44%, makhana at 34% and sesame at 3%. It is sold as a fasting-day and post-workout snack for people who want something sweet and light.
A 20 g serve, half a pack, gives 79 kcal, 0.9 g protein, 9.2 g sugar (6.3 g of it declared as added) and 122 mg sodium. Per 100 g the snack has 393 kcal, 46 g sugar and 608 mg sodium. The protein is low at 4.5 g per 100 g, and no fibre is declared.
The front says no added refined sugar, and the back says the added sugar comes from jaggery. Both are true, but jaggery is still sugar and counts as free sugar here. The ingredient list itself is short and has no additives. CleanPlate scores it EA4.
Why Sattviko Gur Roasted Flavoured Makhana scores EA4
Nutrition is an E because protein is only 4.5 g per 100 g and the energy comes mostly from sugar. Ingredients are an A for a short, additive-free list, and risk is a 4 on 46 g sugar per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 4.5 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 393 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 4.5 g per 100 g and no fibre is declared, so there is little to earn credit. Energy is 393 kcal per 100 g and most of it comes from carbohydrate, with 46 g of it as sugar.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing else lifts the grade. Makhana is the main source of protein, but the jaggery coating outweighs it.
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 five plain items: jaggery, makhana, rice bran oil, sesame seeds and rock salt. No additive is listed, no hydrogenated fat is present, and the declared trans fat of 0 g is accepted.
Nothing on the pack costs ingredient points, and its claims check out against the list, so this axis is at its top grade.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

- Added sugar
- 31.3 g
- Sodium
- 608 mg
- Saturated fat
- 1.8 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar is the biggest driver. Because jaggery is listed and its sugar is not in the added-sugar line, the full 46 g per 100 g is counted as free sugar, against 31.3 g declared as added.
Sodium is next at 608 mg per 100 g, 122 mg in a 20 g serve. Energy adds a little, and saturated fat at 1.8 g per 100 g is a small part. 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.
