Nutritional Summary
The product receives a poor rating primarily due to its very high sodium content (640 mg per serving, 32% of the FSSAI recommended daily limit) and high saturated fat (4g per serving, 20% of daily limit). While convenient, the added sugar and use of processed rice flakes and palm oil make it a less-than-ideal choice for a regular, healthy breakfast.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Veggie-Loaded MTR Poha
1. Prepare the MTR Poha according to the package instructions. 2. In a small pan, sauté 1/2 cup of finely chopped vegetables like carrots, peas, and bell peppers until tender. 3. Mix the sautéed vegetables into the prepared poha. 4. Garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
Health Benefits
Boosts the meal's fiber, vitamin, and mineral content with the addition of fresh vegetables.
Protein-Enriched Poha with Paneer
1. Prepare the MTR Poha as directed. 2. While the poha is resting, crumble 50g of paneer (or tofu) and lightly sauté it with a pinch of black pepper. 3. Gently fold the cooked paneer into the finished poha. 4. Top with a tablespoon of roasted seeds for extra crunch and nutrients.
Health Benefits
Significantly increases the protein content, making the breakfast more filling and balanced.
Additive Analysis
The product uses acidity regulators Citric Acid (INS 330) and Tartaric Acid (INS 334), which are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by FSSAI. The claim of 'No Added Preservatives' appears accurate based on the ingredients list. The additives present are considered low risk.
Preservatives
No preservatives added
Artificial Colors
No artificial colors added
Artificial Flavors
No artificial flavors added
Marketing Claims
The claims '3 MINUTE BREAKFAST' and 'JUST ADD HOT WATER' are accurate. 'NO ADDED PRESERVATIVES' is also supported by the ingredient list. However, the claim 'NATURAL GOODNESS OF GRAINS' is questionable. While rice flakes are a grain, the overall product is highly processed and contains high levels of sodium, saturated fat, and added sugar, which detracts from the implied healthfulness of 'natural goodness'.
