Mother's Recipe Mixed Pickle — TREAT

Munch or Dump rates Mother's Recipe Mixed Pickle by Mother's Recipe TREAT — score 45/90.

A traditional Indian oil-and-salt pickle: real vegetables, but eaten in tiny amounts because it's loaded with salt and refined oil.

Why this verdict

• Real vegetables (mango, carrot, lime, chilli) as the base
• Very high salt typical of Indian pickles
• Refined cottonseed oil plus mustard oil
• Short, recognizable list with no artificial colors or flavor stacks

Ingredients (10)

• mango (safe) — Whole fruit, frozen. Naturally rich in vitamin C, fiber, and beta-carotene. Nothing added.
• carrot (safe) — Whole vegetable rich in beta-carotene.
• Lime (safe) — Real citrus, natural acidity and vitamin C.
• Green chilli (safe) — Fresh chili for heat; a whole-food flavoring.
• Spices & Condiments (safe) — Flavoring blend; minor and generally benign.
• Salt (implied/very high) (concerning) — Pickles are extremely high in sodium, which drives blood pressure if you eat more than a spoonful.
• Cottonseed oil (moderate) — A cheaper refined oil that may be used in the blend.
• Mustard Oil (moderate) — Pure cold-pressed vegetable oil, high in monounsaturated and omega-3 fats with no additives, but it is calorie-dense pure fat and naturally contains erucic acid.
• Acidity Regulator (INS 260 / acetic acid) (safe) — Vinegar acid for pH and tang; benign but signals a formulated rather than naturally brewed product.
• Asafoetida (safe) — Traditional resin spice used in tiny amounts for aroma and digestion.
