Product details

Stone Flower, also known by names like Dagad phool, Kalpasi, Patthar k phool, and scientifically as Parmotrema perlatum, is a unique type of highly valuable lichen in Indian and Ayurvedic traditions. It is a symbiotic partnership between attractive organism, fungi and algae, which gives it remarkable flexibility and a specific figure. Stone flower thrives on rocks, tree bark and sometimes soil, especially in tropical and subtropical regions, including the Himalayas and North Eastern India.

In the Indian kitchen, black stone flower is valuable for its soil, smoky flavour, aroma and taste. It is usually used to increase curry, stew and traditional rice dishes such as biryani, lending a subtle depth and complexity that is difficult to repeat with other spices. Its smoky fragrance elevates the taste profile of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, making it a favourite among chefs and home cooks. 

Beyond its cooking uses, stone flowers also have importance in traditional Ayurvedic practices. It is believed that medicinal properties, including digestion and respiratory benefits, are highly valued in herbal tea to balance taste and energy. 

Constantly sour and naturally dried, stone flower brings both taste and welfare to the table. Its rare and foreign profile makes it an extraordinary addition to your Spice Collection, which gives you a unique culinary experience connecting you with a rich heritage of Indian traditional foods and natural remedies.
