This product is a traditional Indian roasted-chickpea snack aimed at consumers seeking a flavourful, legume-based alternative to deep-fried namkeen. Its ingredient list is impressively short and anchored by a whole food (85% chickpeas), with no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives — genuine positives. The low glycaemic index (GI ≈ 28) and moderate protein per serving make it a reasonable everyday snack for most healthy adults. However, two important caveats stand out: first, there is a significant numerical discrepancy between the per-100g nutrition panel used in this intake (150 kcal, 5 g protein — which matches a 30 g serving, not 100 g) and the label's own declared per-100g values (490 kcal, 18 g protein, 800 mg sodium), suggesting the top-level nutrition was likely entered as per-serving figures mislabelled as per-100g; consumers and analysts should use the label's 490 kcal/100 g figure; second, the product is processed in a shared gluten facility and may contain soy, undermining its implicit gluten-free positioning. Pregnant women should be aware of the asafoetida (hing) ingredient, which carries a documented avoid-in-pregnancy signal.
