Description
Amra fruit is a small, long, and oval shaped fruit that is taper at the tip. When raw and green in colour, amra has a sweet-sour taste. Mature fruit is yellow and tastes sweet. Inside the slightly leathery outer skin, is a fibrous pale pinkish pulp, with a seed in the core that turns stony when ripe. According to Ayurveda, when unripe, the sour fruit is astringent (slightly acidic or bitter) and aphrodisiac (a substance that increases sexual desire, sexual pleasure, or sexual behavior.) and the sweet, ripe fruit is cooling and soothing. Amra is a good source of vitamin A that promotes healthy eyes, skin and overall health of vital organs. Also rich in calcium, regular intake of amra will ensure you have healthy bones, your heart and muscles function well, and to prevent osteoporosis.
