Haldiram's Bhujia Sev — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Haldiram's Bhujia Sev by Haldiram's TREAT — score 45/90.

Deep-fried bean-and-gram-flour namkeen: simple, recognizable ingredients but heavy on refined oil and salt. An indulgent snack, not an everyday food.

Why this verdict

• Deep-fried in refined cottonseed oil - very calorie and fat dense (~30-44g fat/100g)
• High sodium from added salt drives bloating and blood-pressure load
• Refined bean and gram flour spikes blood sugar quickly
• Redeeming: short, recognizable ingredient list with no artificial additives

Ingredients (12)
