About Amla Powder
Amla Powder is seedless amla (Emblica officinalis), dried and ground, in a 150 g jar. Amla is the Indian gooseberry, a small, pale green, ribbed fruit that is intensely sour and astringent, and almost nobody eats it plain.
That is where the powder helps. It brings amla's sharp sourness to chutneys, raitas, batters and drinks without the work of preparing the fresh fruit.
