You already know about the trusty, A-list superfruits such as blueberries. Some of you may be so accustomed to superfruits that you’re already popping goji berries in your mouth like raisins, or blending açai berry powder into your smoothies on a regular basis—but have you heard of amla, the wonder fruit native to Asia?

Amla along with amla candy is listed as one of the front-line immunity enhancers in a “prevention first” approach for COVID-19, according to the Guidelines for Ayurveda Practitioners and India’s Ministry of Ayush, which is responsible for the research and development of indigenous and alternative medicine systems in India.
