Is it true that boiling amla (Indian gooseberry) destroys most of its vit C content and renders it useless?

I have advised to eat amla regularly, but not boil it. I don’t like the taste of raw amla. How can I consume it?

To your question boiling amla destroys vit C is incorrect because
vit C in amla specially, unlike lemon and oranges, it is heat stable
and therefore will not be destroyed. The preparation Chavanprash
which was discovered in olden times to rejevunate sage Chavan
would not have shown its effect if vit C was destroyed. Rest assured
vit C in amla is heat stable nevertheless if you want to have the cake
and eat it too then go for amla powder which is available throughout
the year. Just one teaspoonful of amla powder along with one teaspoonful of raw honey taken every at night after your meals can
give you all the benefits of consuming raw amla. Good luck and God
bless you Juhi. Cheers :o )
