From the sun-drenched orchards of Maharashtra’s Konkan belt to your kitchen shelf — Patil Foods brings you the finest Amla Powder, stone-ground from whole Indian Gooseberries the way Kolhapuri households have prepared it for generations. Tart, earthy, and vibrantly green, this powder carries the unmistakable tang of fresh aavla and the deep wisdom of Ayurvedic tradition in every spoonful.
What is Amla Powder?
Amla Powder is made from dried and finely milled fruits of Phyllanthus emblica (also known as Emblica officinalis), commonly called Indian Gooseberry. Known as Aavla (आवळा) in Marathi and Amla (आँवला) in Hindi, this small, pale-green fruit has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic wellness practice for over 3,000 years. Revered across India and Southeast Asia, it is one of the most celebrated botanicals in traditional wellness systems worldwide. Our powder is sourced from mature, naturally ripened fruits and processed without additives, preserving its characteristic sour flavour and natural phytonutrient profile.
