why does it taste sweet if we drink water after eating "amla" or the indian gooseberry?

Answer 1

Amla

A heavenly blessed herb with wonderful applications, indicated in almost every disease. Amla is a rasayan mentioned by sage Charak in his golden book Charak Samhita and almost every ayurvedic ancient physician of that era. Amla is considered as a magical herb as it is one herb, which is almost part of every ayurvedic classical preparation. World-renowned ayurvedic herbal supplement Chyavanprash contains Amla more than 50% of all its bulk. Amla is rich in Vitamin C and is used very commonly in supplementing ascorbic acid. Amla has a small tree, which belongs to Euphorbiaceous family. Amla is known as Emblica officinalis in biological terms. Amla is commonly called as amlaki in Indian subcontinent and as Indian gooseberry in general English people. Amla is a fruit used without seed mostly in dried form but in Chyavanprash fresh Amla is used. Amla consist of sheet (cold) virya potency and is guru (heavy) and ruksh (dry) in property. Amla contains five rasa i.e. madhur, amal, katu, tickt and kashaya. Amla chemically contains ascorbic acid, phyllembin, phyllemblic acid, gallic acid, ellagic acid, zeatin, Z riboside, Z nucleotide, and tannins.

Answer 2

Sweet Amla

Answer 3

Amla or Indian Gooseberry is bitter so when we drink water after eating that we feel a sudden contrast and the water tastes sweet.

Answer 4

Amla or goose berry in English has a lot of citric acid and Vitamin C which tastes sour. The chemical 'signature' of these is very similar to sugar and so when diluted it occupies similar receptors in the tongue for sweetness. Hence it tastes sweet at lower dilutions.

Answer 5

Because it is soooooooo sour!
