Q. |
Which plant is called 'Herbal Indian Doctor'? |
A. | Ainla |
B. | Mango |
C. | Neem |
D. | Tulsi |
Answer» A. Ainla | |
Explanation: The Indian gooseberry, or aamla from Sanskrit amalika, is a deciduous tree of the family Phyllanthaceae. It is known for its edible fruit of the same name. Although these fruits are reputed to contain high amounts of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 445 mg/1-00g, the specific contents are disputed, and the overall antioxidant strength of amla may derive instead from its high density of ellagitannins such as emblicanin A (37%), emblicanin B (33%), punigluconin (12%) and pedunculagin (14%). |
