The Indian gooseberry, also known as Amla, is called Phyllanthus Emblica in the world of plants. It is classified as a member of the Euphorbiaceae family. It tastes sour, bitter, and very dry.

Amla also contains many vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, and vitamin B complex. It has tannin, which is what keeps the nutrients from going bad when the plant is dried. Amla is a very powerful antioxidant. Because it is an antioxidant, amla stops the harmful free radicals that are made in our bodies from oxidizing. This property is very important for keeping people from getting old and for preventing cancer.
