Amla is an amazing wonder fruit which is packed with so many nutrients thus gives numerous  health benefits. Good quality amla is very easily available during winter and is reasonably priced  .

Amla is a power house of goodness, a great source of vitamin C, very good for skin and hairs. A very rich source of antioxidants and fibre, good for diabetic and heart patients and help in reducing body weight and many more health benefits, Amla is also very good for cold and cough ailments so it is a good idea to use amla daily in our diet.
