Nutritional Summary

It provides no nutritional value in terms of protein, fiber, vitamins, or essential minerals, contributing only empty calories. The presence of artificial flavors and preservatives further reduces its health score.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Limca Virgin Mojito
In a tall glass, muddle 8-10 fresh mint leaves with 2-3 lemon wedges to release their oils. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Top up with chilled Limca and stir gently. Garnish with a mint sprig and a lemon wheel before serving.
Health Benefits
A refreshing mocktail that adds a bit of Vitamin C from fresh lemon, but the high sugar content remains.
Masala Limca Cooler
Take a glass and add a pinch of black salt (kala namak), a pinch of roasted cumin powder, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Add a few ice cubes. Pour chilled Limca over the spices and stir well to combine. Serve immediately for a tangy twist.
Health Benefits
This spiced version can aid digestion, but it does not offset the negative health impact of the high sugar.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including Sodium Benzoate (211), Acidity Regulators (330, 331), and Stabilizers (414, 471), are approved by FSSAI for use in carbonated beverages within specified limits. While generally considered safe for consumption, the primary health concern with this product is its high sugar content rather than the additives.
