Stone Flower

Product Details

A unique natural raw material valued for its earthy, smoky aroma and culinary use in spice blends and traditional food applications. Stone flower (also known as Kalpasi, Dagad Phool, or lichen) is a naturally occurring lichen used in Indian cuisine, particularly in Maharashtrian, Chettinad, and Hyderabadi spice blends. It adds a distinctive earthy depth to curries, biryanis, and meat dishes. Sourced from selected regions in Morocco and Nigeria where the lichen grows naturally on rocks and tree bark. Each lot is carefully harvested, cleaned, and dried to preserve its aromatic qualities. Quality is assessed for aroma intensity, color, moisture content, and absence of foreign matter. Available in bulk for spice traders, food processors, and wholesale markets. Supplied in jute bags or poly-lined packaging as per buyer requirements.
