What to know about Shree Daana Premium Makhana Foxnuts
Plain foxnuts: no sugar, no salt, still 350 kcal
Shree Daana Premium Makhana Foxnuts is a 250 g pack of plain makhana. The ingredient list is one line, Foxnuts (Makhana), with no percentage needed because nothing else is in it. It is bought as a light, crunchy snack by people who want something simple, with no coating, oil or seasoning declared.
Per 100 g the panel shows 350 kcal, 9.7 g protein, 77 g carbohydrate, 7.6 g fibre and 0.2 g fat. Total sugar, added sugar, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium are all declared as 0. The pack lists a 20 g serving, which is about 70 kcal, 1.9 g protein and 1.5 g fibre, and the 250 g pack holds 12.5 servings.
The front says Light. Crunchy. Wholesome., and the list backs the plain part: one ingredient and no additives. Light describes the texture, not the energy, which is 350 kcal per 100 g. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why Shree Daana Premium Makhana Foxnuts scores CA2

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 9.7 g per 100 g and fibre is 7.6 g. In one 20 g serve that is about 1.9 g protein and 1.5 g fibre. Carbohydrate is 77 g per 100 g, with 0 g sugar, and fat is only 0.2 g.
The only micronutrient declared is calcium at 5.1 mg, too little to add a bonus, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone.
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.

The risk grade is set by an energy floor, not by any nutrient of concern, and lands on a 2.

Does Shree Daana Premium Makhana Foxnuts live up to its claims?
The gluten-free claim holds, as foxnuts are the only ingredient. Premium, Light and Free from adulteration are framed words that the label cannot measure.

“100% gluten-free”
Foxnuts are the only ingredient, so no gluten-containing ingredient is listed. The allergen line mentions traces of other nuts, not gluten.

“Free from adulteration”
The ingredient list shows foxnuts only, which is consistent with the claim, but a label cannot show how purity was tested.
