What is Amla?

Amla, also called Indian gooseberry or Amalaki, is a small, greenish-yellow fruit cherished in Ayurvedic practices for millennia. Its tart, astringent taste makes it popular in both cooking and wellness routines. BSD Organics Dried Amla is produced by gently drying whole fruits to lock in their natural goodness, providing a convenient way to incorporate this superfruit into your daily life regardless of the season.

How to Uses Dried Amla

Dried amla is wonderfully versatile and can be used in numerous ways. Here are some popular methods to enjoy it:

• Tea or Infusion: Place about a tablespoon of dried amla pieces in a cup, pour hot water over them, and steep for 5–10 minutes. Strain and enjoy. To improve the flavour, add honey, ginger, or lemon.
• Powdered Drink: Blitz the dried amla to a fine powder in a blender or spice grinder. Stir one teaspoon of the powder into warm water with a pinch of ginger, honey, and lime juice for a zesty, invigorating drink – a classic Ayurvedic method.
• Sprinkle on Fruits: Dust amla powder over sliced bananas, apples, papayas, or stir into yoghurt or porridge. Its tanginess brings a distinctive twist.
• Hair Pack: Mix amla powder with water or yoghurt to create a thick paste. Apply generously to hair and scalp, leave for 20 minutes, then rinse off. A time-honoured beauty treatment.
• Juice: Soak the dried amla pieces to rehydrate, then blend with other fruits for a nutritious juice.

Tips for Best Results

Amla's intense sourness and slight bitterness can be tempered with sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup, or by blending with fruit juices. Begin with a modest quantity and adjust according to your palate. The powdered form is especially convenient for adding to smoothies, shakes, or even salad dressings.

Storage Instructions

Keep the dried amla in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard to preserve its freshness. When stored correctly, it can remain good for several months. Once ground into powder, uses it within a few weeks for the best flavour.
