==Traditional Context==
In traditional Ayurvedic texts, Dadima is classified into three types based on taste: sweet (''swadu''), sweet-sour (''swaduamla'') and sour (''amla''). It has an important role in dietary prescriptions (''Pathya'') and in many formulations, and pacifies Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas depending on its variety.<ref name="ref2" />
