Small Bhakarwadi — TREAT
Munch or Dump rates Small Bhakarwadi by Small Bhakarwadi TREAT — score 45/90.
Deep-fried snack with a short, simple, recognizable ingredient list, but it's drenched in palm oil (26%) and refined wheat flour, so it's an indulgence, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- Deep-fried in palm oil (26% of the product) makes it very fat-dense and calorie-heavy
- Built on refined wheat flour with little fiber or real nutrition
- Indulgent fried snack, but the ingredient list itself is short and free of artificial additives
- No emulsifiers, modified starches, or flavor enhancers, just flour, oil, and spices
Ingredients (10)
- wheat flour (moderate) — Refined flour for the wafer shell — refined carbohydrate with little fiber. Also a gluten source.
- Palm Oil (moderate) — Refined oil high in saturated fat, used in both the spread and the breadsticks for cheap richness.
- Gram Flour (safe) — Chickpea flour; adds some plant protein and fiber, a relative positive in the mix.
- GROUND SPICES (safe) — Traditional spice blend for flavor; benign in these amounts.
- White Sesame (safe) — Whole seed; contributes minor healthy fats and minerals.
- GREEN CHILI (safe) — Whole-food flavoring, no concern.
- Dry Mango Powder (safe) — Amchur for tang; whole-food souring agent.
- TURMERIC POWDER (safe) — Spice with curcumin, anti-inflammatory.
- tamarind (safe) — Fruit pulp used for sour-sweet depth. A real food ingredient.
- Salt (moderate) — Added sodium for flavour.
