Majans Bhuja Original Mix
64 reviews
I used to love these but recently they must have been looking at cost reduction and this has unfortunately resulted in a downgrade of quality. I frequently buy their mixes and over the past 18 months the packets have been progressively getting worse. Today I bought a pack; it literally had one "chip" in it and around 70% of the rest was peanuts.… Read more
If I wanted peanuts I would have bought a packet of peanuts! These guys used to be really good, unfortunately greed and cost-cutting have resulted in a much lower quality product and they're just not what they used to be. Seriously thinking about starting my own version as a competitor because I know I can run circles around what this product has sadly become.
Packet states contains garden peas, peanuts and sultanas, but is mainly manufactured rubbish like straws. Also it is “proudly Australian made and owned” but only 30% Australian ingredients

The quality of this product has decreased considerably. Now barely any fruits or nuts and just processed chips. It has been this way the last two times we purchased it and used to purchase it frequently. Will no longer be buying Show details

Needs more sultanas – Tasty, but more sultanas would make it better. Picture maybe a bit misleading. Show details
Positive reviews
Repeat buyer – This is a good snack mix that isn't too spicy, although after eating some I need water given my Australian rather than subcontinental palate. Sometimes the larger 350 gram pack is more expensive than two 150 gram packs on a per gram basis. Woolies and Coles stock this product. Show details
Tastiest gluten free snack! – I was very pleased with the taste of the Mayans snack. Most gluten free food lacks a zesty taste. Not this! I will definitely be stocking this. Show details
I like the new taste more! – Their new mixes are just great, especially with coconut and this crunch. Simply incredible, combined with their incredible taste, just something explosive. Show details
Negative reviews
Absolutely Horrible and salty as hell. Can't believe how salty it is – Absolutely Horrible and salty as hell. Can't believe how salty it is. Gotta be unhealthy for your heart and body. Planning to take it back to woolies to make a point that this product is awful. Show details
Bad advertising – Just opened a packet of nut mix, the photo on the front of the packet shows 5 cashew nuts in a small amount of the contents, in the whole of the packet there were 2 cashew nuts, advertising gone wrong???? Show details
Noodles – I was excited for the new taste lemon chilli and coconut and all 3 flavours were there and delicious. My problem was it was a bag of noodles it had 2 sultanas, 6 almonds, 4 long crisps handful peas and noodles, noodles, noodles which are so thin as tasteless. It was very disappointing at with the other flavours it's a thicker noodle and holds flavour Show details

The best snacks ever – All Bhuja snacks are delicious and flavoursome and great for gluten free eaters. I love them all and it's too hard to choose the best one. They all are brilliant. Show details
Addictive product! – All Majans products are simply delicious! They use the freshest ingredients and are very well priced.Such a good snack or to accompany a nice glass of wine!
I LOVE THIS PRODUCT – I discovered the rice cracker mix about 1 month ago when my new world started to stock this product absolutely delicious its gluten free and dairy free and it's so yummy and it is a snack that does not upset my tummy.i love the different mix of crackers, sultanas,crunchy peas but I love the peanut noodles the best as they are made of wholesome food.Well done Majans
We love Majans Bhuja! – Majan Bhuja is the only Bhuja we will buy - especially the original mix! It is spicy and crunchy with just the right amount of ingredients: beans, peanuts etc. My husband finds it difficult to eat any other brand and as a latecomer to the world of Bhuja I am now a big fan as well. It is the perfect snack! I'm also a fan of the packaging -… Read more
professional, attractive - sure beats a clear plastic bag with a stick on label like so many other brands of Bhuja. Well done Majans, we cant fault your Bhuja Original Mix
The Magic’s in the Mix – All Majans Bhuja products are amazing! They are super tasty (using real spice - no flavourings) and crunchy every single time. I’ve never been let down. The mixes are magical and always please people. They are the go to snack in our house. My kids love them and I’m happy to give Bhuja to them because they have more nutritious ingredients than… Read more
other snacks (especially compared to sugary snacks). The noodles are made with legumes and pulses, so they’re rich with naturally occuribg plant based proteins.
Enjoy The Bhuj!
Don’t waste your money – Not wholesome, full of carbs and dried noodles. Where’s the rest of the ingredients ? what a rip off. good on you Woolworths don’t like your choice!!!
Seem to have gone downhill lately – I really liked the Majans brand Bhuja mixes and still buy them for a cheap work snack. However it seems the quality of the product has gone downhill with the same flavour issue as others have expressed - excess salt. The salty flavour seems to have replaced the spices making these far less tasty than they used to be. However by FAR the worst… Read more
issue I have encountered recently is rancid peanuts in the mix. I waited until my local supermarket sold out of all stock until I bought more but the issue seems to be present in the latest batch too, which suggests the supplier of ingredients has been changed to one that is obviously cheaper as the peanuts are substandard.
The taste of a rancid peanut is extremely unpleasant and can only be removed by rinsing your mouth and eating something else with a strong flavour to get rid of the horrible taste.
I actually emailed them to let them know of this issue and to their credit they responded and offered me a gift pack as consolation. However I didn't take the gift pack, I just wanted them to do better QC on ingredients and to perhaps change suppliers or do better QC checks on ingredients.
However after buying from a new batch the peanuts are not as bad as the previous but still not great with some having a somewhat stale taste.
Hopefully these products don't deteriorate any further as they used to be one of the better brands. But for now I think I may have to find an alternative.
Non-Healthy ingredients used – Though they call some of their products non-GMO, they are using ingredients that are extremely harmful. Example being Canola Oil (causing many kidney, liver and neurological health issues) and Maltodextrins (causing spikes in blood sugar, etc.). Definitely not healthy as they claim to be. Need to modify the use of ingredients.
Too Salty too !! – I agree with a review by [name removed]. It was horribly salty. I wrote to feedback@majans.com in mid July, someone responded with "Your input is valued and we have shared this with our Quality team who will investigate this further." then nothing, nada, zip ! They don't seem to take feedback too seriously. Will avoid if this keeps up.

Love it!! Love the spice mix – Love it - love the spice mix!!! Can’t get enough of this! It’s my daily snack at work. Perfect blend of nuts, veggies and noodles... with a killer spice flavour!!
Too Salty!!! – I have enjoyed the Bhuja original mix before, yet this time all my taste buds have been hit with is major salt overload! It's honestly like eating teaspoons of salt in a pinch of noodles. I agree on the sultanas-where are they? With everyone's reviews, I hope the company do a 'quality' over haul and don't lose more customers. I'm going to make my own, after a drink a litre of water!
Disappointing – I hadn’t bought Majan’s Bhuja mix for many years. This is not the mix I remember. Noodles are now the dominant ingredient, with few chips, and far fewer peanuts, peas and sultanas. Way too salty as well. I won’t be buying again. So, quality is down, and they’re way too expensive for what you get.
Wheres the sultanas as advertised?? – I really like the flavour but you are lucky if you get one sultana in each packet! Dont advertise sultanas if they are not there! Sultanas really make this mix
fantastic so yummy – I found this product delicious.so yummy and gluten free so even better.i eat bags of them.highly recommend.always fresh to.great any time my friends love the to
Absolutely delicious – These are just so good! They're perfect for work as a mid afternoon snack, or to sit and enjoy with friends. The flavours are a great combination, and hubby loves them too. We'll definitely be buying more soon!
So good... my go-to snack! – Love the variety of snacks and always great for entertaining or just as a snack on the go. Yumminess factor 10/10
Perfect! – Best and most delicious trail mix I've ever tried! Nice ingredients and perfect price (Woolworth sale 1.69$)! Highly recommended! Thanks Bhuja!
