How to Make Amla (Gooseberry) Juice at Home
Amla, otherwise known as Indian Gooseberry, has traditionally been used for centuries in Indian medicine because of its digestive and astringent properties. It also has many other health benefits, and is an amazing boost for people having a cold as it boosts their immune system, and helps relieve the symptoms of cold. Amla is also very good for your hair - it prevents the appearance of grey hair.
Here is how to make amla (gooseberry) juice and store it for days.
Ingredients You Will Need
1 kg of amla berries (2.2 lbs - about 1 kg)
1 cup of water
2 tsp of honey
A pinch of black salt
Blender
A cloth (for straining)
Steps to Make Fresh Amla Juice at Home
The first step is to wash them properly and then cut every amla berry you have in half to remove the seed. Place these halves in a big bowl or jar.
When you are done cutting all of them, crush the berries properly. Crush them till they turn into a paste.
Now, put this paste in a straining cloth and place it over a bowl. Squeeze the content tightly so that you get the juice in the bowl. Squeeze it till you have taken out all the juice.
Put the bowl aside. Take the leftover pulp from the cloth and put it in a juicer or a mixer. Add the resulting liquid and blend.
Remember to clean the cloth since you will be using it again. Strain the juice you get after blending.
You will get around 650 ml of amla juice from this juice.
You can then add 1 cup of water and blend it all together. You can keep this in the fridge for around fifteen days.
When you are going to serve your juice, you can add one pinch of black salt and two teaspoons of honey. This will give your juice an amazing flavour. The juice is more enjoyable when served cool.
FAQs
We answer some commonly asked questions about amla juice below:
1. Why Is Consuming Amla Juice Good?
Amla is known to control cholesterol, blood sugar, and triglycerides. It also helps to reduce the chances of metabolic syndrome. Any health condition can be lowered when you eat amla along with regular exercise.
2. How to Store Amla Juice?
When you want to preserve your amla juice, the capacity of the jar you want to store it in should be equal to the quantity of the juice. So, in a 500 g capacity plastic container or glass, take 500 ml of juice and put 2 tablespoons of sodium lactate. Mix your juice well.
You will now be able to preserve it for 8-10 months. You can get sodium lactate from any store that sells food chemicals.
3. For How Many Days You Can Preserve Amla Juice?
Without using any preservatives, you can store your juice in a refrigerator for approximately fifteen days.
4. Can You Freeze Amla Juice?
Yes, you can freeze amla juice and preserve it in the form of ice cubes.
Due to the amazing health benefits Amla has, you can consider serving Amla juice to your family every morning. Give this method a try!

3 Nutritional Foods for Kids to Stay Sharp and Healthy
Even though we were children ourselves at one point, raising them as adults is still quite a challenge. You know what I mean—you know what’s best for them, and yet, try as you might, they think they’re the ones who know better. Do you know what’s worse? The fact that this is especially true when it comes to food. Their developing bodies and brains need food that’s rich in vitamins and minerals so they can grow strong and healthy, but they think that anything green is icky, anything that’s not coated in sugar is a no-no, and anything fried is an immediate yes.What if I were to tell you that all of that could change? Well, maybe not change. Instilling the value of healthy food in them will have to be up to you, but something you can do in the meantime is prepare nutritional foods for kids you know they’ll love because they taste so good. As it happens to be, you’ll love them too because every bite will keep their minds sharp and their bodies strong. Sounds good, right? Of course it does—I’m talking about healthy food for kids they’ll actually eat and want more of!With that in mind, let’s move onto the topic at hand: 3 nutritional foods for kids that’ll keep them sharp and healthy. As you’ll soon see, we’re going to cover 3 main ingredients that not only present many benefits of healthy food for kids, but can also be worked into MANY tasty recipes that ensure nutrition and a clean plate. Let’s get started!
1. Eggs
Eggs are a staple of most diets, especially when it comes to breakfast. For kids, eggs are a must because one large egg has about six grams of protein and a decent amount of vitamins A, B, D and iron, and some are even fortified with omega-3 fatty acids, which play a part in kids' brain development.Now that we know that eggs are indeed good and healthy, let’s talk about what you can do with them. For starters, you have all the classics like scrambled eggs, fried eggs, boiled eggs, and so on and so on. That’s all well and good, and while most kids do enjoy the savouriness of classic egg dishes you can whip up in minutes, some just aren’t convinced. That’s where the versatility of the egg comes in. For example, by whipping the egg whites separately until they’re fluffy and cloud-like, and then folding in the whipped yolk, you can create fluffy omelettes that are MUCH more fun and entertaining to eat. Speaking of whipping your yolk, you can also create your own homemade mayo for kids that’s healthier and tastier than what you’ll find in your grocery store. And then there are two-ingredient pancakes that only require bananas and eggs. The point being that eggs are a staple ingredient that can be worked into MANY recipes your kids will love.
2. Zucchinis
Like we did with eggs, let’s start our zucchini talk with its numerous benefits. For one, they’re low in calories, carbs and sugar, and high in essential nutrients like potassium, manganese, and antioxidants like vitamins A and C. Second, zucchinis have anti-inflammatory properties that improve heart health and digestion. Third, zucchinis can aid in diabetes prevention because they’re low in carbs and sugar, and are so nutrient-dense. In addition, the polyacrylamide fibres you’ll get from them also have special benefits for blood sugar regulation.Although your kids may not like the idea of eating a zucchini, you have a lot of leeway with their preparation. For example, you can slice them really thin and make zucchini chips. You can also switch them out with potatoes by breading them and making zucchini fries as a healthier alternative. And if your kids like pasta, you can also get a spiraliser and make some noodles they’re sure to love, or slice them really thin and use them in lasagne. The versatility of the zucchini is truly inspiring.
3. Avocados
Ah, avocados. You’ve undoubtedly heard about avocados recently, so we’ll stick with the basics of nutrition here. A good source of healthy monounsaturated fats for your kids that decrease inflammation and keep cholesterol levels healthy, avocados also have more potassium than bananas, and are loaded with fibre—about one fourth of the fibre you should consume per day is in a 100 gram serving! They also have a lot of vitamins B, C and K, and are a good source of folate as well.Like eggs and zucchinis, avocados are also incredibly versatile. For example, apart from classics like guacamole and avocado toast, you can also make avocado pesto as a more nutritious alternative. You can also bread them and make avocado fries that are as healthy as they are filling. And if your kids are especially predisposed to sweet treats, you have the option of making avocado brownies, ice cream, fudge, and so many other dessert options that are all possible because of how creamy avocados are.
Picky as kids are, you can always ensure they eat everything they’re supposed to by metaphorically dressing it up and creating dishes they’ll actually want. Like we covered today, this includes preparing it in ways you may not have thought of before, and switching out ingredients for healthier alternatives. Even though we didn’t cover it today, you can also use things like food processors to create your own sauces and nut butters, cold press juicers to make more nutritious beverages, and air fryers to make fried foods with little to no oil.
Enjoy!
