CleanPlate review

Malai paneer from milk, lemon juice and curd

Sids Farm Malai Paneer is a 200 g pack of paneer made from milk, lemon juice and curd, with two 100 g servings per pack. The panel is printed per 100 g (or 97.1 ml).

CleanPlate scores it BA3. The B for nutrition reflects 20 g protein and natural calcium per 100 g. The A for ingredients reflects whole or lightly processed ingredients (led by milk, with lemon juice and curd), and almost no additives. The 3 for risk comes mainly from saturated fat (19 g per 100 g) and calories (330 kcal per 100 g).
