Eating roasted clay (khadi mitti, mithi mitti, multani mitti for eating) is a centuries-old tradition practiced by millions of women across India, the Middle East, and Africa. Radhe Enterprise is a leading manufacturer of edible roasted clay — Roasted Nakumatt and Roasted Butter Grey — processed through controlled high-temperature kiln roasting at our Bhavnagar, Gujarat facility to ensure food-safe quality, clean texture, and the distinctive earthy aroma that consumers expect from quality eating clay.
Beyond its cultural significance as a traditional edible clay, roasted bentonite serves critical roles in medical applications (natural enterosorbent binding aflatoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, and pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract — used in antidiarrheal and detox formulations), pharmaceutical formulations (excipient for controlled drug release, antimicrobial wound dressings when modified with Ag/Zn), and aquaculture (fish pond sealing — bentonite swells 12–15× to create natural water barrier, water quality improvement as flocculant, superior fish feed pellet binder with essential minerals for growth and reproductive health).
For edible clay retailers, pharmaceutical buyers, aquaculture operators, hatchery managers, and industrial users — factory-direct pricing, retail-ready packing (pouches to bulk bags), and stable monthly supply from our Gujarat facility.

Traditional Edible Roasted Clay — A Centuries-Old Practice
Eating roasted clay (khadi mitti, mithi mitti) is a tradition practiced by millions of women across India, the Middle East, and Africa for generations. Roasted Nakumatt is prized for its firmer, crunchier texture and deeper earthy aroma, while Roasted Butter Grey offers a smoother, creamier consistency with a milder flavour. Both are kiln-roasted at controlled food-safe temperatures at our Bhavnagar, Gujarat facility — preserving the authentic taste and aroma while ensuring cleanliness and purity.
We supply edible roasted clay to retailers, wholesale distributors, and export buyers in retail-friendly pouches (100g, 250g, 500g), 1 kg, 5 kg, and bulk bags for shops, supermarkets, and online sellers specializing in traditional Indian snacks and cravings products.
Medical & Pharmaceutical Applications
Roasted bentonite clay functions as a powerful natural enterosorbent — its negatively charged surface binds positively charged toxins (aflatoxins, heavy metals like lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium), pesticides, and pathogenic bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, carrying them safely out of the body. It is used in antidiarrheal formulations, detox supplements, colon-cleansing products, and as a pharmaceutical excipient for controlled drug release.
Topically, bentonite clay masks and pastes are used for wound healing, acne treatment, and skin detoxification — absorbing excess oils, drawing out impurities, and providing anti-inflammatory benefits. Modified bentonite composites with silver, copper, or zinc provide sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity in advanced wound dressings and medical textiles.
Fish Pond Management & Aquaculture Feed
For pond sealing: sodium bentonite swells 12–15× its original volume upon hydration, creating a natural impermeable barrier that reduces water seepage and maintains stable water levels — critical for fish farming operations in areas with porous soil.
For water quality: roasted clay acts as a natural flocculant — binding suspended particles, reducing turbidity, and removing excess ammonia, nitrite, and heavy metals from the water column. Studies confirm bentonite-treated ponds show lower Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and better water clarity.
For fish feed: roasted clay serves as a superior pellet binder (0.5–2% inclusion rate), improving water stability so pellets don't disintegrate before fish consume them. It reduces nutrient leaching, minimizes feed waste, and provides essential trace minerals (Ca, P, Zn, Mn, Cu) that support fish growth, immune function, and reproductive health. Research on catfish and tilapia shows dietary bentonite significantly improves weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and survival rates.
For broodstock nutrition and fish fertility: the enhanced mineral profile in Nakumatt-grade roasted clay supports egg quality, fertilization rates, and fry survival — making it a valuable input for hatcheries and fish breeding programs. The bioavailable calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and manganese directly contribute to reproductive performance.
Industrial Absorbent Applications
Roasted clay also serves as an effective industrial absorbent for oil and chemical spill control, workshop floor maintenance, and environmental remediation. Its high absorption capacity (350%+) and crush-resistant structure make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Packaging and Export Information
Standard packing: retail pouches (100g, 250g, 500g), 1 kg, 5 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg bags, and 1 MT jumbo bags. Export shipments use moisture-barrier liners and palletized loading. Documentation includes Certificate of Origin, test certificates, and fumigation certificates from Gujarat ports (Pipavav, Mundra).

Is roasted clay from Radhe Enterprise safe to eat?
Yes. Our Roasted Nakumatt and Roasted Butter Grey are processed through controlled high-temperature kiln roasting at food-safe temperatures at our Bhavnagar, Gujarat facility. Eating roasted clay (khadi mitti) is a centuries-old traditional practice — our roasting process ensures cleanliness and purity while preserving the authentic earthy aroma and texture.
How does roasted clay benefit fish ponds and fish fertility?
Roasted bentonite clay benefits aquaculture in three key ways: (1) pond sealing — it swells 12–15× upon hydration, creating a natural water barrier to prevent seepage; (2) water quality — it acts as a flocculant, removing ammonia, nitrite, and suspended particles; (3) fish feed and fertility — as a pellet binder it improves water stability and provides essential minerals (Ca, P, Zn, Mn, Cu) that support growth, immunity, and reproductive health. Research confirms significant improvements in weight gain, FCR, and survival rates.
What is the difference between Roasted Nakumatt and Roasted Butter Grey for eating?
Roasted Nakumatt offers a firmer, crunchier texture with a more pronounced earthy aroma — preferred by edible clay connoisseurs. Roasted Butter Grey has a smoother, creamier consistency with a milder flavour. Both are food-safe kiln-roasted clay manufactured to the same high quality standards at our Bhavnagar facility.
What medical and pharmaceutical uses does roasted clay have?
Roasted bentonite clay is a natural enterosorbent that binds aflatoxins, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury), pesticides, and pathogenic bacteria in the gut — used in antidiarrheal formulations and detox supplements. It serves as a pharmaceutical excipient for controlled drug release. Topically, bentonite clay masks draw out impurities and accelerate wound healing. Always consult a healthcare provider before therapeutic use.
How is roasted clay packed for export and retail distribution?
We offer multiple packing options tailored to the end-use channel. For edible clay retail, we supply in branded pouches from 100g to 1 kg with food-grade inner liners. For pharmaceutical and aquaculture buyers, standard packing is 25 kg or 50 kg laminated PP bags with moisture-barrier liners, palletized for container loading. For industrial absorbent applications, we supply in 25 kg, 50 kg, and 1 MT jumbo bags. All export shipments use container desiccants and fumigated pallets to protect product quality during ocean transit.
Can roasted clay be used as a feed supplement for poultry and livestock?
Yes. Roasted bentonite clay is used as a feed additive in poultry, swine, and cattle operations — typically at 0.5–2% of the feed ration. It functions as a mycotoxin binder (particularly for aflatoxins, ochratoxins, and zearalenone), reducing the impact of contaminated feed on animal health and productivity. It also provides bioavailable trace minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese) that support growth and immune function. For pelletized feed, the clay also acts as a natural binder, improving pellet durability and reducing fines during handling. We recommend consulting with an animal nutritionist to determine the optimal inclusion rate for your specific feed formulation.
