Ikai Organic Natural Stone Flower | Dagad Phool | 25g

Sourced from the hills of Maharashtra, our Natural Dagar Phool, also known as Kalpasi or Black Stone Flower, is a unique lichen treasured in Indian culinary and medicinal traditions. This rare ingredient grows naturally on trees and rocks in the Himalayan and peninsular regions and is celebrated for its distinct aroma, earthy flavour, and deep dark hue. It is a quintessential spice in Maharashtrian Goda Masala and finds its way into Chettinad cuisine, biryanis, curries, stews, and masalas, adding complexity and depth to dishes.

Beyond its culinary appeal, Dagar Phool offers remarkable health benefits. Rich in antioxidants and possessing anti-inflammatory properties, it stimulates digestive enzymes, alleviating diarrhea, constipation, bloating, flatulence, and other stomach-related issues. In Ayurveda, it is valued for its role in preparations that support digestive wellness and overall health.

Versatile and potent, our Natural Dagar Phool can also be used in teas or as part of your homemade spice blends to unleash its flavour and wellness properties, making it a must-have for any conscious cook or wellness enthusiast.
