India has an abundance of food items that are nutritious, healthy and locally available without pinching your pocket. One of these many food items is amla or the Indian gooseberry. The small, green fruit is a powerhouse of nutrition and is often referred to as a superfood. Amla has more Vitamin C than an orange and improves your eyesight as well as your hairs texture. Including it your diet can do wonders for your health and body. However, it is important to keep things exciting so that you dont get bored of eating the same thing every day. And so, we have listed different ways to include amla in your diet. (ALSO SEE Top 5 Indian superfoods you should include in your diet)
Drink yourself to good health by having amla juice in the morning. You can even opt for concentrated power shots in tiny shot glasses if you do not want to drink up a whole glass. If you are making a tall glass of amla juice, dilute it with water, add a dash of honey and include other fruits you like to make a yummy drink.
These days, amla is quite popular as a candy too and is easily available in the market. You can try these sweet and tangy candies that add some more taste to the fruit. The candies are bite-sized and you can snack on them every day. Some are sweetened with honey or jaggery while some are spiced with Indian masalas to add a punch of flavour. Pick the one you like and gorge on amla candies every day. (ALSO SEE Foods to improve your immunity)
Amla chutney is another great way to ensure that you get your daily dose of amla. The chutney can be prepared in bulk and stored in the fridge and you can savor it with all meals in small quantities. Many people add green chillies and salt to the chutney to enhance the flavour. You too can make it at home this way and enjoy it with your meals.
Now, we know that consuming too much pickle isnt too good for health due to the large amounts of salt and oil it contains. However, you can safely eat one to two spoonfuls of amla pickle every day. Most amla pickles are water-based and do not contain much salt. They have a short shelf-life but are perfect for adding nutrition to your diet. (ALSO SEE 10 foods that make you look younger)
One of the easiest ways to eat amla is to cut the fruit and eat it raw. To balance the sour taste, sprinkle salt on it. You can also add a dash of red chilli powder. This will help enhance the taste and make it easier to consume the fruit. You can also boil amla in water along with turmeric powder and salt and then eat it once it cools down.
Whichever way you prefer, incorporate amla in your daily diet as it full of health benefits for your body. If you know more ways to eat amla, do share with us in the comments section below.
