They have the smooth, dense, compact bite you'd expect from a CAA treat, but with crumbs running all the way through, so there's a bit more going on with every crunch. Expect wet cement and damp, earthy basement up front, with smoke coming through after. It's a light smoke rather than a deep roasted one: the Nakumatt and Dryfruit bring the cement, the roasted clays bring the smoke. These are a big favourite in the community, and they've earned it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Crunch Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, dense and compact, with crumbs throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cementy and earthy, with notes of damp basement and light smoke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrunch factor:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 – Medium\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASMR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense crunch with a crumbly edge from the crumbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wet cement and damp earth with a light smoky note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round biscuits, up to 4cm in diameter, some broken\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dark grey to black, with natural tonal shifts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry \u0026amp; region:\u003c\/strong\u003e 🇮🇳 India, South Asia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full roasted Nakumatt, Dryfruit clay and smoky clays including Magmitti\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVendor \/ source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clays All Around\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional clay origins:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasting is what gives Indian clay blends like this their smoky edge.

These products aren’t sold as food, food supplements or health products, and they’re not food-grade certified. Under UK rules I can’t market them as food or encourage eating or swallowing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI recognise and respect that for some people in the pica and geophagy communities, tasting, crunching, chewing, spitting or swallowing clay and chalk is an important part of their personal experience. I don’t dismiss or judge that. But I can’t guarantee any product is suitable to eat, and I don’t make claims about its safety for consumption or any health benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourcing matters just as much. Research sellers carefully, think about where products actually come from, and look for clear information on composition and any testing. Be wary of sending money to unknown or unverified sellers you’ve come across in Facebook groups or other online communities without doing your own checks first. A seller being popular, or recommended by another customer, doesn’t on its own mean a product is safe. For what it’s worth, everything here goes through a proper checkout with secure payment, and my reviews are public. I’d want the same from anyone I bought from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere testing information is available, read it and understand its limits. Testing is useful, but it doesn’t automatically mean a product is suitable to swallow, and Earthy Crunch UK can’t certify any product as safe to ingest. If you choose to taste or swallow anything, you do so entirely at your own discretion and risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or getting strong cravings for clay, chalk or ice, speak to your GP. Cravings like these can be linked to things like low iron, and it’s worth ruling out. Adults only. Keep away from children and pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProducts are repackaged in the UK in a clean home environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Clays All Around","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55146851729735,"sku":"0607030391001","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/6080\/8775\/files\/Texture1_54fe666b-c436-421a-8771-f8e9f94675e8.png?v=1792851345","url":"https:\/\/earthycrunch.co.uk\/products\/black-holes-indian-clay-treats-edible-clay-treats","provider":"Earthy Crunch UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
