Amla Powder Fine Ground, Certified Organic - 8 oz

Organic Amla Powder is made from the fruit of the Indian Gooseberry tree, also known as "amalaki" or "amla." Amla is a dehydrated, astringent-tasting fruit from India that is traditionally used in Ayurveda. Amla powder is often consumed internally, but it is also used externally for hair.

Our amla powder is freeze-dried. Sun-dried, which would make it very dark. The process involves converting fresh de-seeded amla fruits into powder at very low heat levels. The temperature is always kept below 104°F. This means that sensitive nutrients are retained throughout the process.
