What to know about Vrindavan Organic Paneer
One-ingredient paneer with 18.3 g protein per 100 g
Vrindavan Organic Paneer is a 200 g pack of fresh paneer made from full cream cow milk, curdled with lemon and/or natural vinegar and strained. The ingredient list has one line, strained curdled milk from all natural pure cow milk, with no percentage given. It is bought as a ready block for curries, bhurji and grills.
Per 100 g the pack declares 265 kcal, 18.3 g protein and 47.5 mg sodium, plus 127 mg calcium, 161 mg potassium and 101 mg phosphorus. In a typical 50 g serve that is about 133 kcal, 9.2 g protein and 24 mg sodium. No sugar is added and no carbohydrate is declared.
The pack says All Natural, No Preservatives and Rich in Protein, and the list backs all three. The product name says Organic, but the pack shows no organic certification mark. CleanPlate scores it CA2.
Why Vrindavan Organic Paneer scores CA2
Nutrition is a C on 18.3 g protein per 100 g with no fibre. Ingredients are an A because milk is the only ingredient. Risk is a 2, set by 265 kcal per 100 g, with sodium low at 47.5 mg.

01 Nutrition density: why C
Protein is 18.3 g per 100 g, which comes entirely from the milk. There is no fibre, and no carbohydrate is declared.
Calcium (127 mg), potassium (161 mg) and phosphorus (101 mg) are declared but add no bonus points, so the grade rests on protein 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.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A
The list is a single ingredient, strained curdled milk, with no additives, no sugar, no fat or oil added and no hollow label promise. That is the full ingredient score.
The pack does not give a percentage for the milk, but with one ingredient there is nothing else it could be hiding.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Low risk
- Sodium
- 47.5 mg
03 Load risk: why 2
No sugar is added and sodium is low at 47.5 mg per 100 g, so neither moves the grade. Saturated fat is not declared, so it adds nothing to the score.
The 2 comes from energy: 265 kcal per 100 g, about 133 kcal in a 50 g serve.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does Vrindavan Organic Paneer live up to its claims?
The natural, no-preservatives and protein claims hold, since milk is the only ingredient. The organic name has no certification on the pack, and the printed fat figure does not match the 265 kcal.
- Product nameBe careful
“Organic”
The retailer page calls it organic, the pack shows All Natural, and no organic certification mark is seen on the pack. The ingredient list is plain milk.
- On the packHolds
“All Natural”
Milk is the only ingredient, with no additives and no sugar.
- On the packHolds
“100% Natural - No Preservatives”
No preservative or additive is listed. The back says lemon and/or natural vinegar is used to curdle the milk.
- On the packHolds
“Soft and Rich in Protein”
18.3 g protein per 100 g, about 9 g in a 50 g serve.
- On the packBe careful
“Fat 2.6 per 100 g”
The pack prints the fat as 2.6 mg, which looks like a typo for grams. Even as 2.6 g, it does not fit 265 kcal with 18.3 g protein, so the fat is unclear.
What's in Vrindavan Organic Paneer?
The list is a single line: strained curdled milk from cow milk. There are no additives and no sugar. What to watch is the unclear fat figure and the calories.
The ingredient list, read for you
The only ingredient is strained curdled milk from cow milk. The back of the pack explains that full cream milk is curdled with lemon and/or natural vinegar, then strained. That gives the protein and fat, with nothing added for colour, taste or shelf life.

Myths about Vrindavan Organic Paneer
Paneer is a protein food, but not a low-calorie one: 265 kcal per 100 g, with protein giving only about a quarter of those calories.
Myth: Is paneer a low-calorie protein food?

Recipes with Vrindavan Organic Paneer
A 200 g block gives about four 50 g portions at roughly 9 g protein each, which suits bhurji, palak paneer, grilled tikka and sandwiches.
Paneer bhurji
Crumble 50 g per person into onion and tomato for about 9 g protein each, with no added salt needed from the paneer itself.
Palak paneer
Cube the block into a spinach gravy. A 200 g pack serves about four, at roughly 133 kcal of paneer per portion.
Grilled paneer tikka
Marinate cubes in curd and spices and grill them, which adds no extra oil beyond a light brush, so the 265 kcal per 100 g stays the main source.
Paneer sandwich
Slice or crumble 50 g into a whole wheat sandwich with cucumber and tomato for a quick lunch with about 9 g protein from the paneer.
