What to know about Whole Farm Premium Appalam Papad
A short, simple papad with a heavy salt load
Whole Farm Premium Appalam Papad is a 200 g pack of dry papad built from black gram flour (71%) and rice flour (23%), with iodised salt, a stabiliser (INS 170) and refined cottonseed oil. It is bought as a crispy side to go with a meal.
A 6 g serve gives about 20 kcal, 1.4 g protein, 0.1 g fat and 104 mg sodium. Per 100 g the pack declares 340 kcal, 24 g protein, 1.6 g fat, 0.6 g saturated fat, no sugar and 1735 mg sodium. Protein is a real strength; salt is the cost.
The front says Applam / Rice Papad, but black gram flour is the main ingredient at 71%, and rice flour is 23%. The list is short, with no dye, no hydrogenated fat and no added sugar. CleanPlate scores it DA4.
Why Whole Farm Premium Appalam Papad scores DA4
Nutrition is a D because no fibre or vitamins are declared, even with 24 g protein per 100 g. Ingredients are an A on a short, plain list, and risk is a 4 because of 1735 mg sodium per 100 g.
Low nutrient density

- None declared
- Energy
- 340 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why D
Protein is 23.97 g per 100 g, mostly from black gram flour, which is 71% of the list. That is the main thing in its favour.
No fibre or vitamins and minerals are declared, and the rest is starch from the flours, so the grade stays low. Fat is only 1.59 g per 100 g.
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 short: black gram flour, rice flour, iodised salt, a stabiliser and refined cottonseed oil. The flours lead and the percentages are declared, so the label is clear.
The stabiliser, INS 170 (calcium carbonate), costs a small number of ingredient points. There is no hydrogenated fat, no dye and no empty label promise.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 0 g
- Sodium
- 1735.2 mg
- Saturated fat
- 0.6 g
- Trans fat
- 0 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sodium is the driver: 1735 mg per 100 g, and 104 mg in one 6 g serve. It makes up almost all of the risk number, which lands on a 4.
Sugar is 0 g and saturated fat is 0.6 g per 100 g, so they add almost nothing. Energy is 340 kcal per 100 g, a small part of the grade.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
