Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Tasty Bite Organic Coconut Chickpea & Turmeric Curry is a middle-of-the-road option for those seeking cleaner food products. This ready-to-eat meal is certified organic and non-GMO, ensuring that it meets basic standards for consumers looking to avoid synthetic pesticides and genetically modified ingredients.
The product prides itself on a list that includes organic chickpeas, coconut milk, carrots, and a variety of spices such as cumin, mustard, and turmeric powder. These ingredients are recognized for their nutritional benefits and are often sought after in health-conscious diets. Moreover, the use of organic chickpea flour as a thickener is a healthier alternative to more refined starches.
However, the product loses points due to the inclusion of organic jaggery, a type of brown cane sugar, which is considered an added sugar and detracts from the healthfulness of the meal. While it is organic, added sugars are often discouraged in cleaner eating circles due to their potential impact on blood sugar levels and overall health. Additionally, the presence of natural asafoetida flavor is noted as a potentially harmful additive. Although ‘natural’, the term ‘flavor’ can encompass a range of substances, and without more specific information, it raises questions about its origins and effects.
Despite these concerns, the product does offer a convenient and organic meal option, which may appeal to those who are looking to maintain an organic diet but are pressed for time. The use of organic and non-GMO ingredients is a strong positive and aligns with the core values of providing cleaner food options.
This product stands as a compromise between convenience and adherence to organic principles. It represents an average choice within the market, balancing commendable organic ingredients with the presence of added sugar and flavor additives. For consumers prioritizing organic content and convenience, this curry may be a suitable choice, while those with stricter guidelines on additives and sugars might look elsewhere.
