Indian gooseberry or Amla .When I saw it first time in Doha I told to myself ;"Look -they have gooseberries like we have at home in Hungary " Then I remembered nice evenings spent at village relatives and picking gooseberries and their sour taste -some of them was hard and sour others were sweeter ... but when I tried Amla I simply was not able to eat it . I could not beleive that it was for human consumption .
But now that I read about its benefit for our health I will try to find out the way I am able to eat it ...Phyllanthus emblica promotes longevity, and traditionally to enhance digestion -it treats constipation ), reduces fever purifies the blood reducces cough , alleviates asthma , strengthens the heart , benefits the eyes , stimulates hair growth , enlivens the body, and enhances intellect ..I guess I should eat it raw for all these benefits ....In rats it significantly reduced blood glucose, food intake, water intake and urine output in diabetic rats compared with the non‐ diabetic control group -according to wikipedia .

Really , it is so bitter that it distorts our sense of taste .Plain water tastes sweet after the amla , sweet food has no taste at all ...
