What it is

Organic amla powder is made from the dried and ground fruit of the Indian gooseberry tree (Phyllanthus emblica). This small, tart fruit is native to India and Southeast Asia. The powder retains the fruit's natural nutrients and flavor.

Why it's used

Amla powder is often used as a source of vitamin C and antioxidants in powdered drink mixes, smoothies, and health supplements. It can also be used to add a tart, slightly astringent flavor to various food products.

Health notes

Amla is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants, which are compounds that may help protect cells from damage. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated amla, but no specific numeric intake limits have been set. Research into its health effects is ongoing, with some studies suggesting potential benefits for blood sugar and cholesterol levels, though more research is needed.

Allergen info

Amla powder is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
