Our take

CleanPlate review

The ragi is real; so is the saturated fat

Tata Soulfull Ragi Bites Choco Fills are pillows made from ragi (34.1%), rice and a little chana dal, filled with a chocolate cream of sugar, interesterified vegetable fat, cocoa (3.5%) and milk solids, with caramel colour, flavouring and the antioxidant BHA.

CleanPlate scores it BC4. The B for nutrition reflects fibre and natural calcium from ragi, boosted by per-calorie scoring. The C for ingredients reflects a good ragi base let down by interesterified fat, BHA, caramel colour and cocoa under 5%. The 4 for risk comes from sugar at about 26% of the calories and saturated fat at 22%.

Common misconceptions

Myth: "Millet cereals are automatically healthy"

The ragi is good; the filling is what makes this one sugary and high in saturated fat.

Myth: "Interesterified fat is trans-fat free, so it is fine"

It has no trans fat, but it is a heavily processed fat and here it drives the saturated fat.

How often, and how

  • Healthy adultsOccasionally, as a treat
  • ChildrenAn occasional treat; 30 g, not the 50 g serve
  • Diabetes or prediabetesAvoid

Smarter ways to eat it

Go for plain ragi

Ragi flakes or ragi porridge with jaggery and fruit give the calcium without the cream filling.

Top, don't fill the bowl

Scatter a few bites over curd or plain flakes.
