Vitamin C in amla is water and air soluble, meaning it evaporates if it comes in contact with water.  Or even fly away if exposed to air.  *Getting up in the morning and eating an amla immediately gives the body the best nutrition.  Do not soak it in salt or turmeric water, eat it as it is.*

 🟥 *half:*

 Crops of various kinds are thus very productive.  Uddiya in particular is a very favorite crop among Gujaratis.  Gujarati households do not eat a lot of urad dal, but give them enough urad dal to eat.  *In this type of crops we use jaggery, ghee, dry fruits and vegetables are best in terms of nutrition.  Uddiya contains highly nutritious ingredients like black and washed musli, gokhru, kaucha, akkalgaro, peppermint, poppy, cardamom, nutmeg, javantri and ginger.* People nowadays don't eat it in the name of high calories, but that is a mistake.  *People who are weightloss can also eat this crop.* It is necessary that you understand how much and when to eat it.  A paak batak and a cup of milk will be the best breakfast in winter morning.  Crops are not right.  *But it must be eaten by every age person.*
