Kurkure Facts

Kurkure is a New Age Namkeen. You can have Kurkure either directly or you can add additional ingredients including onions, tomato, pinch of lemon juice, etc to make it more tastier. These additional ingredients are easily available at home.

To talk about the actual ingredients that makes up Kurkure. To start with I would like to clear a doubt that most of the readers on this blog maybe having and that is there is “no plastic in Kurkure“. Kurkure is made of edible ingredients including rice meal, corn meal, gram meal, edible oil, seasoning, salt, spices and condiments and flavours. All these ingredients that I have mentioned here are also used by us in our day-to-day household cooking purposes as they are edible items used in every household kitchen.

The edible oil that is used for preparing Kurkure is the Rice Bran Oil. Rice Bran Oil is one of the healthier oils because it is naturally high in the good fats (MUFA and PUFA) and low in saturated fats. By cooking Kurkure in Rice Bran oil, the saturated fat gets reduced to up to 40%. This is one of the important points to note for as saturates are the ones to watch out for, as too much consumption of saturated fats can lead to increase in the blood cholesterol levels.

To sum up with, I would like to say that Kurkure is one of the safest and one of the healthiest snack that I have known and it is surely good for health.

I am not with junk food much. But when it comes to Kurkure, it is different. There have been rumors all around these days regarding Kurkure. The rumor has gone to such an extent that people are telling their friends that “kurkure contains plastic“, “say no to kurkure“, “plastic in kurkure“, “kurkure harmful to health” some are even saying “don’t eat kurkure“. Is it really a reality or a marketing gimmick?

The truth is totally different from what is being pictured. Kurkure does not contain plastic. Yeah, you read it right, there is no plastic in Kurkure. You must be thinking, how can I say that so confidently. I have come across this fact through a genuine source on the web. Visit this link for details: http://fritolayindia.blogspot.com/2008/08/message-from-gautham-mukkavilli.html.

Let me tell you my friends, if Kurkure really contained plastic then people would have quited it long back. Sending unnecessary mails without any relevant proof is so bad. As for the link I have provided above, it clearly states that Kurkure complies with the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and Rules that govern the manufacture, distribution and sale of Kurkure.

So next time, you visit a grocery shop and see that packet of Kurkure, don’t worry at all. Grab hold of it. Happy Munching!
