Patanjali Research Unveils Amla Seed Benefits
Scientists at Patanjali Research Institute found that amla seeds, which were usually thrown away, are actually very nutritious.
They have lots of good things like antioxidants and omega fatty acids that can help our heart, skin, hair, and even our mood.
Patanjali has made new products from these seeds, like capsules and oils.
This discovery helps farmers because they can now sell the seeds, and it's also good for the environment because nothing from the amla fruit goes to waste.
These products are even being sold in other countries like the US and Europe.
Patanjali Research Institute discovered that amla seeds are highly nutritious, contrary to traditional beliefs.
The seeds contain high levels of antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and other beneficial compounds.
New Ayurvedic products, including heart health capsules and skin care oils, have been developed from amla seeds.
The discovery has provided a new income source for over 70,000 farmers and promoted zero-waste farming.
Products made from amla seeds are being exported to the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia.
