Dagadphul, also known as Black Stone Flower or Kalpasi, is a unique dried lichen revered in Indian cuisine for its distinctive earthy and woody aroma. This essential spice acts as a subtle yet powerful flavor enhancer, particularly in slow-cooked dishes and traditional spice blends. Shingotex ensures the supply of premium Dagadphul, carefully sourced and processed to deliver an authentic taste and aromatic experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Dagadphul is primarily sourced from the pristine, unpolluted Western Ghats regions of India, including parts of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, where it naturally thrives on trees and rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dagadphul is typically harvested post-monsoon, from September to December, when conditions are optimal for collection, ensuring a rich and potent yield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shingotex offers Dagadphul in standard packing of 25 kg and 50 kg PP bags. Customized packing solutions, including smaller retail packs or specific bulk requirements, are available upon request to meet diverse client needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dagadphul presents as dried, flat, frond-like lichen, typically dark greenish-brown to blackish-brown with a slightly rough, velvety texture. It imparts a unique earthy, woody, and mossy aroma, often described as reminiscent of a forest floor. When incorporated into dishes, it contributes a subtle, umami-rich, and slightly smoky flavor, enhancing the depth and complexity of gravies, curries, and biryanis without overpowering other spices.<\/p>\n\n\n
