Recipe- Healthy And Great For Digestion Amla Candy

Indian gooseberry or Amla candy is probably the healthiest candy in the world. It has all the benefits of Amla. Amla is a great source of Vitamin C and is good for hair and eyes. It is used extensively in ayurvedic medicines.

Amlais quite popular in Rajasthan and we make a lot of chutneys, pickles, and jams from it. It is still hard to get kids to eat Amla pickles and chutneys but with this candy, there is no worry. My son simply loves it. I have kept a jar on the dining table and I do not even have to ask kids to eat them.
