Indian gooseberry

The Indian Gooseberry, or Amla, is a tangy seasonal fruit available during the winter months. It is a fruit with a peculiar mix of tastes, containing five of the six tastes from bitter, pungent, sweet to astringent and sour and is famous in India as a health and beauty aid. Popularly known as Amalki in Sanskrit (sustainer) or Dhatri (Nurse), this tiny fruit is a known powerhouse of goodness, packed with nutrients like proteins, carbohydrates, potassium, fiber, minerals and vitamins

Amla is capable of aiding in building, repairing and sustaining the human body. The high content of Vitamin C ensures effective synthesis of collagen, which improves the condition of hair, nails, teeth and skin. Amla also has a positive effect on the digestive, excretory, respiratory, circulatory, reproductive and nervous systems.

For adults, a recommended amount of daily amla consumption is 75-90 mg per day.
