Amla, or Indian Gooseberry, is one of Ayurveda's most treasured superfoods. It is replete with plenty of benefits for us to ignore. Perhaps this is why we have so many preparations with amla that have been a part of our staple diet since time immemorial. From juice to candies, murabba to achaar, we love this fruit to an extent that we are willing to ignore its bitter-sour flavour too.

It is also good for immunity and has anti-inflammatory properties.
