Amla is one of the best sources of natural vitamin C. It contains 20 times more vitamin C than an orange. Even when it is dried, or baked, it contains tannins, which prevent loss of vitamin C.
Vitamin C, an anti-oxidant, fights free radicals, which cause many chronic and grave diseases like arthritis, high blood pressure, heart problems, Alzheimer's, cancer, and so on. Vitamin C is also required for our body's natural defences and healing mechanisms.
Long lasting and digestive Amla supari is Good appetizer, mouth freshener. And the best part is taste remains same from beginning to end.

( I am not very fond of polythene sheets, / Plastics…You never know how they might be reacting with the Sunlight..hence Steel)…..
Cover the Amla Plates with thin Cotton /cheese cloth….and let them Dry in Sun for 4-5 days (until fully dry and crisp)…Gives it a long shelf life…of 6 months or more J

Why Rocksalt???..... According to Ayurveda Rock salt is healthiest - it is known to be cooling, anti- acidic, anti-bilious, anti-phlegmatic, carminative and digestive.
