Lijjat Papad is a beloved pantry staple bought by Indian households for generations, prized for its simple, near-additive-free recipe rooted in urad dal. The product's standout positives are its impressive protein content (~22g/100g), negligible fat, zero trans fat, and complete absence of artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. However, the single most important fact for any consumer to know is that the sodium content is extraordinarily high at 1,500mg per 100g — delivering 83% of the daily recommended sodium in a single 100g serving — making regular consumption a meaningful concern for anyone managing blood pressure, heart, or kidney health. Pregnant individuals and parents of infants should also note the presence of asafoetida, which carries documented uterine-stimulating and infant methemoglobinemia risks.
