Amla Fresh- Indian 500gr Gooseberry

Amla, also called Indian gooseberry, is a small round pale green fruit with firm, very sour and slightly astringent flesh around a hard central seed. It has no established German name and is generally sold under the Indian name amla.

It is most often used to make achaar (pickle) or murabba (a sweet preserve), and is sometimes dried or candied. It is rarely eaten raw on its own because of its sharp sourness.

How to use

• Wash and, for most preparations, boil or steam briefly to soften before removing the seed.
• The flesh separates into natural segments around the pit once softened.
• Store loose fruit in the fridge, where it keeps for one to two weeks.
