Nutrition is a C on 9.1 g protein and 8.6 g fibre per 100 g. Ingredients are an A for a one-item list, held back by the High Protein claim. Risk is a 2, driven by energy at 377.5 kcal per 100 g.

- None declared
- Energy
- 378 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 9.1 g per 100 g, which works out to 2.41 g per 100 kcal, and that earns only partial credit. Fibre is 8.6 g per 100 g, about 3.4 g in a 40 g serve, and that is the main strength of the grade.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so there is no extra credit beyond protein and fibre. Energy is 377.5 kcal per 100 g, ordinary for a grain flour.
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 a single whole grain, bajra, with no additives, no sweetener and no refined flour. That is as clean as an ingredient list gets.
The label costs ingredient points for the High Protein claim on the back: 9.1 g per 100 g is under the 11 g needed for the claim, and 2.41 g per 100 kcal is under 5.5. That is what sets the [L], and it is the only thing that held this grade back.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 5.5 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.7 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 2
Sugar is 0 g, saturated fat is 0.7 g, trans fat is 0 g and sodium is 5.5 mg per 100 g, so those parts of the risk number are close to nothing.
Energy is the one part that registers: 377.5 kcal per 100 g, about 151 kcal in a 40 g serve. That sets the risk number at a 2.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does True Elements Bajra Atta live up to its claims?
The fibre claim and the 100% bajra claim hold. High Protein does not, since 9.1 g per 100 g is under the 11 g line, and Rich in Iron has no iron figure behind it.
- On the packMisleading
“High Protein”
Protein is 9.1 g per 100 g, under the 11 g needed for the claim, and 2.41 g per 100 kcal, under 5.5. A 40 g serve has 3.6 g.
- On the packHolds
“High Fibre”
Fibre is 8.6 g per 100 g, about 3.4 g in a 40 g serve, from the whole grain.
- On the packHolds
“100% Bajra”
Bajra is the only ingredient on the list, with nothing added.
- On the packBe careful
“Rich in Iron”
No iron figure is printed on the nutrition panel, so the claim cannot be checked against a number.
- On the packBe careful
“Naturally Gluten Free”
Bajra itself contains no gluten, but the pack says it is packed in a facility that handles cereals containing gluten.
What's in True Elements Bajra Atta?
Bajra is the only ingredient, with no additives. The only things to watch are the unsupported protein claim and the missing iron figure.
1 ingredient listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.
The ingredient list, read for you
Bajra, which is pearl millet, is the only ingredient, so the flour is ground whole grain with nothing added. No percentage is printed, and none is needed for a single-item list. The pack also states no artificial colour, flavours or preservatives, and the list agrees.
Ingredients to watch
- High Protein claimConcern
9.1 g protein per 100 g is under the 11 g line for the claim, and a 40 g serve gives 3.6 g. It costs ingredient points and sets the [L].
- Rich in IronWorth watching
The claim is on the back, but no iron value is declared, so there is no number to check.
- Packed with gluten cerealsWorth watching
Packed in a facility that handles tree nuts, soy and cereals containing gluten, which matters for anyone with coeliac disease or allergies.
- FibreFine
8.6 g per 100 g, about 3.4 g in a 40 g serve, from the whole grain.
- Sugar, sodium and saturated fatFine
0 g sugar, 5.5 mg sodium and 0.7 g saturated fat per 100 g, with no trans fat.
What it doesn’t have
- No iron or other minerals are declared, even though the pack says Rich in Iron.
What to know about True Elements Bajra Atta
A single-grain flour with a protein claim it misses
True Elements Bajra Atta is a 500 g pack of stone-free pearl millet flour with one ingredient on the list: bajra. No percentage is printed, but the pack says 100% Bajra and 100% whole grain. It is bought by people who want to swap some of their wheat flour for a millet, or who cook rotis, parathas and dosas from it.
A 40 g serve, the size the pack prints, gives about 151 kcal, 3.6 g protein, 3.4 g fibre and 1.8 g fat. There is no sugar, and sodium is only 5.5 mg per 100 g. What you pay for is mostly starch: carbohydrate is 75.2 g per 100 g, about 30 g in a serve.
The front is plain about fibre, and that holds. The back goes further with High Protein, and the numbers do not support it: 9.1 g per 100 g is under the 11 g needed, and protein is 2.41 g per 100 kcal. That claim sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CA2.
