Amla is a fruit extremely rich in medicinal properties and produces the best results when consumed in winters. It’s a whole treasure trove of properties, the reason why it is often referred to as “Super Fruit” in India. Amla is extremely rich in Vitamin C. Around 100 grams of fresh gooseberries contain as much vitamin C as 20 oranges.
