About Amla Powder.

Amla, also called aonla or Indian gooseberry (*Phyllanthus emblica*), is the small, pale-green fruit that ripens in Indian winters. It is famously sour, with a bitter-astringent bite, and it is one of the most used fruits in Indian kitchens and home hair care.

Our amla powder is 100% dried amla, finely ground. Nothing is added.

Amla powder in the kitchen

Warm water: half a teaspoon with honey first thing in the morning is a common routine.
Juice and smoothies: stir into orange juice or a green smoothie.
Chutney: add to mint or coriander chutney for extra tang.
Amla candy-style snack: mix with jaggery powder, black salt and roasted jeera.

The taste is very sour, so start with a small amount and add honey or jaggery.

Amla powder for hair

Amla is a classic in Indian hair rituals:

Hair wash: mix with reetha and shikakai powders for the traditional three-herb wash.
Hair pack: mix with water, curd or aloe vera gel into a paste, apply for 20 to 30 minutes and rinse.
With henna: many people add amla to henna paste to soften the red tone.
In oil: warm a spoon in coconut oil, cool and strain.

Questions

How do I use amla powder?

In food, stir half a teaspoon into warm water with honey or into juice. For hair, mix it into a paste with water or curd, or combine it with reetha and shikakai for a herbal wash.

Can I use the same amla powder for eating and for hair?

Yes. It is 100% dried amla, suitable for both. Keep a separate spoon for each use.

How do I make an amla hair pack?

Mix two to three tablespoons of amla powder with water, curd or aloe vera gel into a smooth paste. Apply to hair and scalp, leave for 20 to 30 minutes and rinse well.

What is amla called in English?

Indian gooseberry. It is also called aonla in Hindi and nellikai in Tamil.

Why is amla powder so sour?

Amla is naturally very sour and astringent. Mix it with honey, jaggery or juice to balance the taste.

Does amla powder darken hair?

Amla alone doesn't dye hair. Mixed into henna it can tone down the red. For dark brown to black colour, henna followed by our indigo powder is used.

How should I store it?

Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, and always use a dry spoon.
