Verka Nimbu Pani – Detailed Review
Pricing + Packaging
Verka Nimbu Pani comes in a tetra package. A one-liter tetra package costs Rs. 52. It has a shelf life of 180 days from the date of manufacture if kept in a cool and dry place. This also comes in a handy 200 ml tetra pack with a straw.
Main Ingredients
The primary ingredients in this drink are water, sugar, lemon powder, common salt, acidity regulator (INS330), and ascorbic acid (INS300).
Why is Ascorbic acid used? Ascorbic acid is commonly added to fruit juices, frozen fruits, dried fruits and fruit flavored candies to add a citrusy flavor. In addition, it also works as a preservative as it prevents the food from spoiling and preserves the freshness and color.
Color
This nimbu pani is visually clear, with no floating particles. When contrasted to plain water, it has a light lemony tint.
Taste
It strikes a superb balance between sweet and salty flavors. There is a fresh lemony flavor, which is not identical to a freshly squeezed lemon, but is undoubtedly quite refreshing.
The citrusy flavor packs a pleasant punch. We would have preferred it if the lemon flavor had been slightly fresher to make it similar to a homemade nimbu pani.
Pros
- Very refreshing.
- Travel-friendly packaging.
- Sweetness and saltiness are well balanced.
- Also available in single use tetra pack with a straw.
Cons
- The freshness of lemons is something that can be improved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some interesting FAQs on Verka Nimbu Pani.
1. Is Verka Nimbu Pani good for health?
Verka Nimbu Pani is no doubt a quick way to consume nimbu pani anytime and anywhere. But considering the fact that this is a packaged drink, we advise occasional consumption.
2. Does this Nimbu pani help in burning fat?
Lemons are naturally rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants which helps in good digestion and detoxifies the body. This in turn helps support fat loss. However, do note that for anybody to start burning fat the key promoters are following a regular exercise regime and being in a calorie deficit.
3. Can we drink a single glass of lemon water everyday?
Yes. Generally you can consume one to two glasses of lemon water everyday.
4. What is the best time to take lemon water?
Ideally the best time to consume lemon water is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Consuming lemon water this way helps get rid of any toxins present in the digestive tract. Considering this is a nimbu pani with sugar (and more), we suggest limiting its consumption to once a day at a time of your choice.

It has a shelf life of 180 days from manufacture when stored in a cool and dry place.
