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.
