Wild Amla Candy is a delicious and nutritious treat crafted from handpicked wild amla (Indian gooseberries) sustainably harvested from the biodiverse forests of the Nilgiris. Made by indigenous women producers of Aadhimalai Pazhangudiyinar Producer Company Ltd, this candy captures the tangy-sweet essence of nature while preserving the rich traditional knowledge of forest-based food processing. The amla is naturally sun-dried and mixed with minimal natural ingredients with no artificial , preservatives, or additives. Every piece retains the fruit’s natural goodness, offering a boost of Vitamin C and antioxidants that strengthen immunity and aid digestion.

The materials and processes used are entirely eco-friendly. The amla is wild-harvested without harming the trees or the forest ecosystem, ensuring natural regeneration and biodiversity conservation. The drying and processing are done manually using solar and low-energy techniques, reducing carbon emissions. The packaging is plastic-free, made from recyclable or biodegradable materials, aligning with Aadhimalai’s commitment to reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.
