Mix Farsan — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Mix Farsan by Mix Farsan TREAT — score 45/90.

Chickpea flour, whole Bengal gram and real spices — then the whole thing takes a bath in palm oil. It's the classic namkeen bargain: legitimate legumes, illegitimate calorie density. A handful is a treat; the whole packet is a project.

Why this verdict

• Gram flour and Bengal gram base — real legumes bringing genuine protein and fiber
• Deep-fried in palm oil — roughly half the calories in typical mix farsan come from the frying fat (~37g fat per 100g)
• Salt-forward like all namkeen — sodium stacks up fast when eaten by the handful
• Short, recognizable list: chilli, ajwain, curry leaves — no flavor enhancers, no colors, no additive stacks
• Edible starch is the only filler — a minor processing tell, not a red flag
