Nutritional Summary
The product scores in the average range. Positives include being made from ragi millet, fortification with calcium, and having zero trans fat. However, it is a highly processed snack with high sodium content (187mg per 21g serving) and contains flavour enhancers (INS 627, 631). While it is marketed as a healthier alternative, its nutritional profile is still characteristic of a snack food that should be consumed in moderation.

Healthy Recipe Ideas
Ragi Crunchiez Bhel
Crush a serving of Saffola Crunchiez. Mix with finely chopped onion, tomato, and boiled chickpeas. Drizzle with tamarind chutney and a squeeze of lemon, then garnish with fresh coriander.
Health Benefits
Transforms the snack into a more balanced chaat by adding fresh vegetables, plant-based protein, and fiber.
Millet Cone Salad Topper
Prepare a mixed green salad with cucumber, carrots, and bell peppers. Use a light lemon-herb vinaigrette. Just before serving, top the salad with whole or lightly crushed Crunchiez for a crunchy texture.
Health Benefits
Adds a satisfying, calcium-rich crunch to a vitamin-packed salad, replacing less healthy fried croutons.
Herbed Yogurt Dip with Millet Cones
Whisk thick, plain yogurt until smooth. Mix in finely chopped mint and a pinch of roasted cumin powder. Serve the dip alongside the Crunchiez cones for scooping.
Health Benefits
Combines the snack with protein and probiotics from yogurt, promoting satiety and supporting gut health.
Additive Analysis
The additives used, including flavour enhancers (INS 627, 631) and acidity regulators, are approved by FSSAI and are generally considered safe for consumption. However, individuals sensitive to MSG or its analogues might want to exercise caution due to the presence of flavour enhancers.

Marketing Claims
The claims are technically true but create a 'health halo' around a processed snack. 'Made with Ragi' is accurate as it's a primary ingredient. 'Rich in Calcium' is substantiated by fortification. However, the overall marketing as a healthy choice is questionable given the high sodium and presence of flavour enhancers. The '50% Less Saturated Fat' claim is comparative and may mislead consumers into thinking the product is low in fat overall.
