Why is Taboulé classified as moderately processed (NOVA 3) and what additives does it contain?

The dish uses rehydrated wheat semolina, pre‑cut vegetables and refined oils, which places it in NOVA group 3 for processed foods; the only listed additive is potassium sorbate, a preservative that extends shelf life.

How does the sugar and salt content of Taboulé affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

At 5.4 g of sugars per 100 g, the product is higher than typical prepared meals and can raise blood glucose, so diabetics should consume it in moderation; its 0.9 g of salt per 100 g is well below average, making it suitable for hypertension when portion‑controlled.

Is Taboulé suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, or keto diets?

The recipe contains only plant‑derived ingredients, so it is fully vegan; however, it includes wheat semolina, which adds gluten, so it is not gluten‑free, and with 25 g of carbohydrates per 100 g it exceeds keto limits.
