Gooseberry or Amla or Nelli Kayi (in Kannada language), is one of the healthy pod. It is a pack of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
Let us see some benefits of this wonderful god's gift :
Gooseberry is rich in anti oxidants, vitamins and fiber.
Gooseberry helps to strengthen the immune system of our body, helps in easy digestion, healthy hair and skin.
It helps to manage diabetes. Good for heart health.
Please Note:
Here I have used the gooseberry which are lighted on Uttana Dwadasi/ Tulsi Pooja Day. So it has turned slightly brown. Lighted on edible oil. We do use coconut oil to light and use it in cooking.
Its our traditons and customs to light gooseberry diyas infront of Tulsi on the festival of Tulsi pooja. Tulsi worshipped Lord Vishnu to be with her. So always Tulsi is placed near Lord Vishnu always. Even at homes near saligrama Ondu dala ( One leaf) Tulsi is kept and prayed everyday.
