Himalayan Amla Pickle (Indian Gooseberry) (400gm)
Our Amla Pickle is a powerhouse of Vitamin C, made from wild-grown gooseberries found in the mid-Himalayan belt. Unlike mass-produced pickles, we use the 'Thandi Dhoop' method—sun-curing the fruit to retain its medicinal properties. The natural bitterness of the Amla is perfectly balanced with hand-ground yellow mustard seeds and fennel, creating a tangy, spicy, and slightly sweet relish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 'Thandi Dhoop' method mentioned in the description?
It is a traditional Himalayan preservation technique where the pickle is cured under the mild mountain sun. This slow process ensures that the heat-sensitive Vitamin C in the Amla is not destroyed, unlike industrial pickles that use high-heat processing.
Is the Amla in this pickle soft or crunchy?
Our Amla retains a slight 'bite' or crunch. Because we sun-cure rather than boil the fruit, the segments stay firm and hold their nutritional value much better than mushy, over-processed varieties.
Does this pickle contain sugar?
No added refined sugar. The slight sweetness you taste comes naturally from the sun-ripened wild Amla and the aromatic fennel seeds used in our spice blend.
Is it very bitter?
Wild Himalayan Amla has a natural astringency, but our aging process in mustard oil and yellow mustard seeds beautifully balances that bitterness into a tangy, savory profile.
Is this safe for daily consumption?
Yes! In fact, Ayurveda recommends a small piece of Amla pickle daily to improve 'Agni' (digestive fire) and boost long-term immunity.
