Details
Red Nakumatt Clay features roasted red clay chunks made from 100% authentic Indian Nakumatt clay. Deeply mineral-rich and intensely roasted, these small, firm chunks offer a dry, gritty crunch with a bold flavour profile. Expect notes of cement, metallic minerals, and a subtle asphalt-like undertone, all grounded by a warm topsoil base. The vibrant red and brown hues reflect the high iron content and traditional roasting method. Ideal for those who enjoy a hard, crumbly texture with strong sensory character and an industrial-earthy bite.

Traditional Clay Origins:
Red Nakumatt is a robust variant of traditional Indian clay, roasted to draw out its full-bodied flavour and signature crunch. Historically used in regions where red soil is valued for its purity and grounding qualities, this clay is favoured among geophagy enthusiasts for its intense mineral taste and satisfying density. The roasting process enhances its hardness and unlocks complex, earthy aromas reminiscent of construction dust, fresh rain on pavement, and iron-rich soil — a sensory experience that’s as bold as it is nostalgic.

Storage Tips
To keep your clays and treats fresh, crunchy, and full of flavour, always store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture, humidity, and strong odours. Exposure to air or dampness can alter both texture and taste.
We highly recommend using our stash boxes, available on the website — designed specifically to protect and organise your clay collection with ease.
Handling Guidelines
- clean, dry hands.
- wooden spoon included with your order
Fragility Disclaimer
All clay treats and terracotta pot products are handmade and naturally fragile, making them susceptible to breakage during delivery.
While we take great care in packing each item securely, minor cracks, chips, or crumbled pieces may occur. This is a natural part of working with handcrafted clays and does not affect taste or enjoyment.
To help, every order includes a wooden spoon — ideal for enjoying broken pieces or powder just as deliciously as the whole form.
