Why Vijay Gold Ragi Sprouted Flour scores [L]CA2

Nutrition is a C on modest protein plus iron and calcium credit. Ingredients are an A for a single-ingredient list, with a small deduction for the fibre claim. Risk is a 2, driven only by energy at 361 kcal per 100 g.

361 kcal

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 8 g per 100 g, which earns only partial protein credit, and fibre is just 0.93 g per 100 g, so there is no fibre credit. What lifts the grade is the declared minerals: 3.5 mg iron and 257 mg calcium per 100 g.

A 40 g serve gives 144 kcal, 3.2 g protein, 1.4 mg iron and about 103 mg calcium.

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 one ingredient, ragi, so there are no additives, no refined flour, no added sugar and no hydrogenated fat. That earns a very strong base.

The pack's High in Fiber claim fails its test: 0.93 g per 100 g is under 6 g, and 0.26 g per 100 kcal is under 3. That costs ingredient points and sets the [L] flag, but the clean list keeps the grade high.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 2

Energy is the only part of the risk number, at 361 kcal per 100 g. Sugar is 0.5 g total with 0 g added, and sodium is 5 mg per 100 g, so neither moves it.

A 40 g serve is 144 kcal and 2 mg sodium, which keeps the risk grade low.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Vijay Gold Ragi Sprouted Flour live up to its claims?

The High in Fiber claim does not hold: 0.93 g per 100 g is far under the 6 g needed. The sprouted and natural claims hold, and the iron and vitamin B1 claim can only be half checked.

  • On the pack

    “High in Fiber”

    Misleading

    Fibre is 0.93 g per 100 g, under the 6 g needed, and 0.26 g per 100 kcal, under the 3 g test. A 40 g serve has about 0.4 g.

  • On the pack

    “Source of Natural Iron & Vitamin B1”

    Be careful

    Iron is declared at 3.5 mg per 100 g, 1.4 mg per serve. Vitamin B1 is not on the nutrition panel, so that half cannot be checked.

  • Product name

    “Sprouted Flour”

    Holds

    The ingredient line reads Sprouted Ragi Flour on the pack, and ragi is the only ingredient.

  • On the pack

    “Natural ingredients”

    Holds

    One ingredient, ragi, with no additives, added sugar or preservatives listed.

What's in Vijay Gold Ragi Sprouted Flour?

Ragi is the only ingredient, with nothing added. The watch points are the fibre claim and the high carbohydrate load, 80 g per 100 g.

How we rate additives →

1 ingredient listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

The list is a single word, Ragi, and the pack's ingredient panel calls it sprouted ragi flour. No percentage is declared because nothing else is in it. Ragi is the whole flour: it supplies the starch, the protein and the declared iron and calcium.

Ingredients to watch

  • High in Fiber claimConcern

    Fibre is 0.93 g per 100 g, far under the 6 g needed. The hollow claim costs ingredient points and sets the [L].

  • Carbohydrate loadWorth watching

    80 g per 100 g, 32 g in a 40 g serve, with under 1 g fibre per 100 g to slow it. Total sugar is 0.5 g per 100 g.

  • Single ingredientFine

    Ragi only: no additives, no added sugar, no hydrogenated fat.

  • Iron and calciumFine

    3.5 mg iron and 257 mg calcium per 100 g, about 1.4 mg and 103 mg in a 40 g serve.

  • SodiumFine

    5 mg per 100 g, 2 mg per serve.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamin B1 value is declared, although the pack names it as a source.
  • No meaningful fibre, despite the claim: 0.93 g per 100 g.

What to know about Vijay Gold Ragi Sprouted Flour

One-ingredient ragi flour with a fibre claim that fails

A 400 g pouch of flour milled from sprouted ragi (finger millet). The ingredient list reads Ragi and nothing else, with no percentage declared because there is nothing else to declare. It is bought for porridge, malt drinks and rotis, and the back of the pack lists dosa, idli, balls, chakli and laddu as well.

Per 100 g it gives 361 kcal, 8 g protein, 80 g carbohydrate, 0.5 g total sugar and no added sugar. Sodium is 5 mg. It also declares 3.5 mg iron and 257 mg calcium. A 40 g serve, the size the pack prints, has 144 kcal, 3.2 g protein, 1.4 mg iron and about 103 mg calcium.

The name and the single-ingredient list are straightforward. The side panel is where the pack overreaches: it says High in Fiber, and the panel shows 0.93 g of fibre per 100 g. That hollow promise sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CA2.
