Amla Fruit

Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Amla Fruit (Phyllanthus emblica or Indian Gooseberry). Amla is highly revered in Ayurveda as a supreme Rasayana (rejuvenator) and is one of the three components of Triphala. It is celebrated globally for its extremely high levels of natural Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), powerful Polyphenols, and Antioxidants.

The fresh fruit is dried to extend its shelf life while retaining its key nutrients, particularly the potent antioxidant profile. Our dried Amla is available in various forms—whole, cut, or de-seeded—making it suitable for direct consumption, decoctions, or processing into powder and extracts. The taste is characteristically sour, bitter, and astringent.
