Priya Gongura Pickle — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Priya Gongura Pickle by Priya TREAT — score 45/90.
A traditional Andhra pickle with a clean, recognizable spice list and no artificial additives, but it's drenched in oil and salt, so keep it to a spoonful as a condiment.
Why this verdict
- Clean, recognizable spice-and-leaf list with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
- Very high in salt and oil (~22g fat/100g) so it spikes sodium fast
- Refined rice bran oil and iodized salt are the carriers, not nutrition
- Best as a small-spoon condiment, not a daily portion
Ingredients (12)
- Gongura leaves (29%) (safe) — Sorrel leaves, naturally rich in iron, vitamin C and antioxidants; the genuine whole-food base of the pickle.
- Refined rice bran oil (moderate) — An industrially refined seed oil used to coat and preserve the pickle. Processed fat, though a small fraction per serving.
- Onions (12%) (safe) — Whole vegetable, adds flavor and some prebiotic fiber.
- Iodized Salt (safe) — Standard salt; iodization is fine in small amounts.
- chilli powder (safe) — A simple spice for flavor — harmless and recognizable.
- Tamarind extract (safe) — Natural souring agent, source of potassium and magnesium.
- Coriander Powder (safe) — A real ground spice for flavor. A clean, whole-food addition.
- Fenugreek powder (safe) — Traditional spice with some soluble fiber.
- mustard seeds (safe) — Whole seeds providing alpha-linolenic acid and flavor.
- Dried chillies (safe) — Whole dried chilli for heat.
- TURMERIC POWDER (safe) — Natural spice and colorant with curcumin.
- Curry leaves (safe) — Aromatic whole leaf - authentic flavor, no concerns.
