Rajapalayam Gooseberry pickle is popular among the traditional Telugu-speaking Raju families of Rajapalayam, Tamil Nadu. This Pickle is part of the Traditional Community Based Geographical Origin Pickle offerings from Panakam-Tradition in a Bottle. Gooseberry is called Usirikaya in Telugu, Nellikai in Tamil, Amla in Hindi, and Amalika in Sanskrit.
Indian gooseberry is a common ingredient in many Ayurvedic preparations. Rich in Vitamin C, polyphenols and ellagitannins, all parts of the gooseberry plant are used in various Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani medicines. Gooseberry, which has five out of the six tastes recognized by Ayurveda, increases immunity, enhances digestion, and cools the body.
To prepare this pickle, gooseberries are cut, sun-dried and mixed with spices and oil. The result is a naturally pure, authentic and healthy pickle with a fine balance of spices, salt, sweet and acidity.
