Amla Powder
Amla Churna
Pressed from sun-ripened Indian gooseberries grown in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, the GI-recognised heartland of amla, this powder carries the fruit's bracing sourness and astringent green note. The whole fruit is dried and finely milled to a pale khaki powder. Sharp and tannic, it dissolves into water or juice, stirs into yoghurt and honey, or works into hair and skin rituals.

Questions
- Is amla the same as Indian gooseberry?
- Yes. Amla is the Indian name for the Indian gooseberry, botanically Emblica officinalis. The powder is milled from the dried whole fruit, sometimes also sold as amalaki.
- Why is the powder so sour and astringent?
- That tannic, mouth-puckering sourness is the natural character of the fresh fruit, concentrated by drying. It is a sign of authentic whole-fruit amla rather than a diluted or sweetened blend.
- Can I use it for hair and skin as well as food?
- Yes. The same single-ingredient powder is used both ways. Stir it into water or juice to drink, or mix it into a paste for traditional hair and skin masks.
