Summary Feedback
MTR Vegetable Pulao contains cooked pulao, carrot, beans, green peas, onion, garlic, ginger, salt, mixed spices, lemon juice, spice extract and refined sunflower oil.
In India refined sunflower oil is the oil of choice for millions of households who are not aware that vegetable oils like these contain very large amounts of biologically active fats called Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which could be harmful in excess.
It contains 0.80 gm salt in it which is high as the the daily allowance for salt intake as per WHO guidelines is 1-3 gm per day, and eating a 100 gm pulao takes you almost to that level.
The foodnetindia rating for this product :-
foodnetindia safety rating : 4 – (On a scale of 1 to 10 from very unsafe to very safe)
People often eat this a meal replacement and in such cases, its poor protein profile makes this an unsuitable choice. And this is the reason we give this product a low safety rating.
In addition, the high salt content in it makes it unsuitable for those with high blood pressure and lifestyle diseases.
