This project introduces an innovative herbal jam made from amla (Indian gooseberry), Plectranthus amboinicus, Ocimum tenuiflorum, ginger, and palm sugar as a healthier alternative to conventional jams. Amla is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, while the selected herbs are traditionally known to support immunity, respiratory health, and relieve coughs and colds. Palm sugar provides natural minerals and has a lower glycaemic index than refined sugar. The jam was evaluated for taste, aroma, texture, nutritional value, and shelf life, achieving positive results. This functional food promotes healthier eating habits, utilizes sustainable local herbal resources, and has strong potential for commercialization.
