Phyllanthus emblica seed

LATIN NAME: PHYLLANTHUS EMBLICA

COMMON NAME: Indian Gooseberry

The Indian gooseberry gooseberries the upright, branching tree with the feathery, pinnate leaves along the slender branches and the small, greenish-yellow flowers, the round, pale-green, translucent fruits following and ripening through the autumn, each fruit with the six ridges and the sour, astringent flesh. The fruits hang thickly along the branches, and they are gathered for the tangy flavour. The tree stands the heat and the dry spells well. It likes the sun, and the light, well-drained soil.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

In the leaf-flower family, the emblica tree has a recognised place in the studies of the medicinal fruit trees, and the species appears in the research on the vitamin-rich fruit chemistry and the dry-season growth. The nutritionists value the fruit compounds, while the food scientists note the tart, astringent flesh for the pickles and the preserves. The seed biology fills out the picture, and the growers of the traditional fruit trees keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

In the warm garden, the Indian gooseberry gooseberries the branches with the tangy green fruit. The fruits serve the pickles, the preserves and the traditional preparations for the ages, the light, feathery foliage gives the soft shade, and the tree stands the heat and the dry spells well.
