Every ingredient in your snack matters, and some could be doing more harm than good, Let’s dive into the details.Here’s the details in the packaged makhana:
Refined palmolein oil: is highly processed and contains unhealthy trans fats that can raise bad cholesterol levels, leading to heart disease and other health issues. It's also stripped of nutrients, making it a poor choice for cooking, especially when used in packaged snacks.
Maltodextrin: This is a highly processed carbohydrate that can cause a spike in blood sugar levels, making it unsuitable for people with diabetes. It can also contribute to weight gain when consumed in excess.
Hydrolyzed Peanut Protein: While it provides protein, it can be highly processed, It also lacks the nutritional value of whole, unprocessed protein sources.
OleoResin: OleoResin is an extract from plants, typically used for flavor. It can be concentrated, and while it's generally considered safe, excessive use might lead to digestive irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. It's often more processed than natural herbs.
So, now you tell me which Makhana do you think is healthier? One that comes in variety of flavours or the home made one?
