Amla Candy- Healthy sweet and spicy Amla candy

Amla Candy- Amla /Indian gooseberries are a power house of nutrients .They are a very good source of Vitamin C ,contains a good amount of minerals and many vitamins,calcium,Iron, phosphorous etc. Amla enhances the absorption of food, strengthen the heart, muscle, lungs,good for eyes, promotes hair growth, very good for skin, is good for diabetic patients,diuretic in nature so help to flush down the body toxins.

As Amla is available in abundance during winter so we can make different recipe with it like Amla mirch ki achari subzi ,Amla ki chutney  etc . Amla also have anti aging properties so it should be consumed daily by everyone ,it is good for children as well as old people so people of all age group can use it on moderation every day .
