Ingredient Overview
Amla, or Indian gooseberry, has a long history in Indian food and Ayurvedic preparations. Its tart fruit contains tannins and other plant constituents used to characterise concentrated extracts.
Amla’s sharp fruit character sits alongside its long use in Indian culinary and herbal traditions. Tannins provide one compositional focus for concentrated ingredients. It is also familiar as one of the fruits used in Triphala, connecting the individual extract with a broader tradition of multi-fruit preparations.
