Amla Matters is a functional snack turning the ayurvedic superfood Amla (gooseberries) into an all-natural and delicious sweet-and-sour candy.
Amla is one of nature's best sources of Vitamin C, traditionally used for healthy hair, glowing skin,
and immunity in the South Asian diaspora. The Amla Matters candy product is unique in that it uses natural sweetener jaggery which is known to be nutrient-rich, thus adding to the powerful health benefits of this snack. We are excited to bring Amla Matters to health-conscious consumers in North America in Fall 2026!!
