Bio:
Ramya, the creator behind Rose Clay, brings the rich flavours and textures of Indian clays to a wider audience. Inspired by her own cravings and a desire to share traditional earthy treats with the world, she focuses on flavour, crunch and variety, crafting distinctive creations using hand-ground powders and bold imagination.
What inspired you to start creating your clays or edible treats?
While trying different Indian clays, I felt that every corner of the world should get to enjoy our clays and treats, so I started it as a business.
What products do you specialise in, and what do you think sets you apart?
I use hand-ground powders to make treats, which is a good way to keep the flavour and give a good taste. My black currants, purple logs, chikki and ember pucks are my top-selling items.
Who or what inspires your creativity in the world of clays and textures?
I know the cravings of people with pica, because I'm one of them, so I thought about giving good flavours, crunch and variety to satisfy people's cravings in a creative way.
Can you tell us about the first time you discovered eating clay, chalk, or felt a craving for it?
When I was 13 years old, I started eating slate pencil.
Which of your products is your personal favourite, and why?
I love red nakumatt, because of its crunch and unique flavour.
If you could describe your ideal crunch in three words, what would they be?
Earthy, crumbly, non-sticky.

Earthy and crunchy.
Which flavours or earthy notes do you always find yourself craving?
Mostly earthy.
Can you share a funny or memorable moment from making your products?

A pinkish coloured clay, non-sticky and earthy, and full of crunch.
