Nutritional Summary

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Nimbooz Mint Refresher
1. Pour chilled Nimbooz into a tall glass. 2. Add a handful of fresh, crushed mint leaves and a pinch of black salt (kala namak). 3. Stir well and garnish with a lemon wedge before serving.
Health Benefits
This enhances the drink with the freshness and digestive benefits of mint.
Spiced Nimbooz Sparkler
1. Mix Nimbooz with an equal part of plain sparkling water or soda. 2. Add a splash of ginger juice and a pinch of roasted cumin powder (bhuna jeera). 3. Stir gently and serve over ice for a fizzy, spiced mocktail.
Health Benefits
This recipe reduces the overall sugar concentration per glass and adds digestive aids like ginger and cumin.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including acidity regulators (331(iii), 296, 330), stabilizer (445(iii)), and preservative (202), are all permitted under FSSAI regulations and generally considered safe for consumption within prescribed limits. The primary health concern of this product is its high sugar content, not the additives.

Marketing Claims
While the product technically complies with FSSAI's definition of a 'fruit drink' (containing at least 5% lemon juice), the marketing can be perceived as questionable. The branding and imagery heavily emphasize natural lemons, potentially misleading consumers into believing it is a healthy, natural lemonade. The high sugar content, comparable to other sugary sodas, is not highlighted, creating a health halo effect that does not align with the product's nutritional profile.
