Why we picked it
-
A podi built from named organic ingredients rather than a spice premix.
-
Certified under both NPOP and USDA-NOP, so the organic claim is checkable on two systems.
-
Sourced direct from the farms rather than through a bulk spice trader.
What to look for in Chutney Powder?
What to look for in Chutney Powder?
- 01Read the order of the ingredient list. Salt or starch high up means you are buying filler priced as masala.
- 02Count the spices. A blend naming ten spices is telling you more than one naming 'spices and condiments'.
- 03Anti-caking agents keep blends free-flowing. A blend without them may clump in humidity, which is the honest trade.
- 04'Permitted colour' and 'nature-identical flavouring' are legal, but they exist to compensate for weaker spice.
What's inside
Toasted organic coconut is the base of this podi.
Pure & Sure prints the full list and nutrition panel on the jar's side label (shown in the photos). Their website does not itemise it, and we have not yet verified it from a photographed pack, so we do not reproduce it here.
