Few days, there was this rumor about Kurkure that was spreading like a wild fire on the web. Every other blog and every other forum was talking about the alleged Kurkure plastic rumor. As per the Kurkure plastic rumor, if we burn Kurkure there is plastic melting. So the rumor advised people not to eat Kurkure.
Firstly, if Kurkure really contained plastic would it even be edible. Kurkure as a brand has been in the Indian market for years now. Then how can Kurkure suddenly start containing plastic. The Kurkure plastic rumor was just so fake and baseless but still people believed in it.
Kurkure is a new age namkeen snack. Kurkure is made from edible ingredients including rice meal, corn meal, gram meal, salt, spices, seasonings, edible oil, and condiments and flavors (some or all in variants of Kurkure). Kurkure is cooked in Rice Bran oil, it is one of the healthier oils available for cooking. By cooking Frito Lay range of products in RICE BRAN oil, the saturated fat has been reduced by 40%. Saturates are the ones to watch out for, because too much saturated fat can contribute to increased blood cholesterol levels.
All the ingredients used to manufacture Kurkure are used by most of the Indian families in their daily kitchen. This only means that Kurkure is not bad for health and is completely safe for consumption.
