Food Label for Mini Bhakarwadi: Namaskaram
Mini Bhakarwadi: NamaskaramThese mini bhakarwadi snacks are calorie-dense, with 132 calories in a small 25g serving. The macros are not great: high in fat (9.6% DV) and carbs (8.1% DV), and low in fiber (3.8% DV) and protein (4.6% DV). Benefit: They do not contain artificial colors, preservatives or added flavors, which is good. Also, they contain some calcium, iron and potassium. Concerns: The first ingredient is refined wheat gram flour, which is not ideal. The second ingredient is refined palmolein oil (30%), a highly processed vegetable oil that is high in saturated fat. It's also associated with inflammation and other health problems. The sodium content is also high at 6.11% DV per serving. I'd recommend limiting your consumption of these snacks due to the high calorie density, refined ingredients, and high sodium content. Look for snacks with whole grains, less processed oils, and lower sodium levels. A handful of nuts or seeds would be a healthier alternative.
