Common questions about Dal Palak

Is Dal Palak ultra-processed?

No — Dal Palak is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). Contains only basic culinary ingredients (pulses, vegetables, spices, oil, salt) and no industrial additives, refined syrups, artificial sweeteners, flavourings, emulsifiers, or other markers of ultra-processing.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
