Organic Amla Powder

Amla Powder

Also known as Indian Gooseberry, Amla is an ancient fruit indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. Amla powder is made from the ground-up leaves of the Indian gooseberry. It is a rich source of Vitamin C, iron, and calcium.

The Indian Gooseberry is an uncommon balance of sweet, sour, spicy, and bitter flavors. The sourberry flavor balances well with yogurt, milk, and coconut cream for smoothies. It is said that drinking water after consuming Amla makes the water taste sweet.
