Naki DIY Kit Combo

Stone Flower, also known as Dagad Phool in Hindi and Kalpasi in Tamil, is a dried lichen used as a traditional aromatic spice in Indian cuisine. Scientifically known as Parmotrema perlatum, it is prized for its earthy, smoky flavor.

Stone Flower is known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. It may support respiratory health, aid digestion, and is often used in Ayurvedic and traditional remedies.

Kalpasi is typically used in biryani, Chettinad curries, Goda masala, and Korma. It is added whole or roasted and ground into spice blends to enhance aroma and flavor.

You can buy premium, organic black stone flower (Dagad Phool / Kalpasi) directly from NAKI, which sources it from the pristine forests of Northeast India.

Yes, in moderate culinary quantities, Stone Flower is safe and has been traditionally used in Indian households for generations. It should be used like any other spice—not in medicinal doses unless advised.

There’s no difference—Dagad Phool is the Hindi name and Kalpasi is the Tamil name for the same spice: Stone Flower, or Parmotrema perlatum.

When used as a spice, there are no known side effects. However, excessive consumption without guidance is not recommended. Always use within culinary limits.
