Dear Fred / Dr. Shirodkar
I'm guessing that this is the one that in Bengal is called AMLOKI (or
AMLAKI). In that case its scientific name would be Phyllanthus emblica (or
Emblica officinalis) from the Euphorbiaceae family and the common english
name would be Indian Gooseberry.
I am guessing again, without a photo, that this is what is called Indian
Gooseberry in Florida also.
Thank you very much. Asit

1) It's Emblica officinalis
2) If the manufacturer has prepared the candy without resorting
to high temperature drying, it should also contain a fair amount
of Vitamin C.

Amla Candy is a new product available in outlets in Goa. It is priced at Rs
4 and includes a nutritive value (per 100 g) of 293 kcal energy, 70 gm of
carbohydrates, 0.8 gm protein, 538 mg Vitamin C, 0.20 mg of calcium of 0.15
gm of fat.
It is marketed by Kamdhenu Pickles and Spices Ind Pvt Ltd (Krishi Bhavan,
1379 Bhavani Peth, Pune 411042, Pune tel 26357991) and manufactured and
packaged by Nandlal Fruit Processor at Tal Maval, Pune district tel 02114
24977.
It's a tasty product, containing one large-sized amla and sugar. The plastic
packing seems a bit excessive (and environmentally unfriendly), but as a
non-technical person, my first reaction was that this is an interesting (and
tasty) product. FN
