Gooseberries, also known as amla, is a natural way to thicken your hair and naturally make it darker. The smell , depending on the individual , can be somewhat bothersome because it is very fragrant. It is best to leave in your hair and sleep with it on , but it does stain so wear something old. As for your pillow , place an old towel on it! Best of luck! This item is a real gem!!!

We call these gooseberry in The Bahamas 🇧🇸, it’s awesome to make jam, ice cream or eat it raw with salt, lemon, pepper or season salts. But a lot of people don’t know about this fruit. I only know about it because my grandma had a tree in her yard and she use to make jam everytime they were in season. Delicious!!’n

Gooseberry , eat with salt and pepper, pickle it. Make jam and juice with it. Recently there was a lot of buzz about Alma oil only to find out it’s gooseberry oil. Who knew? Well, I’m enjoying every part of tts fruit including the oil.
