Geophagia & Pica: Understanding the Cravings

From ancient traditions to modern experiences, we dive into what geophagia is, how it's practiced around the world, and why some of us are drawn to the taste and texture of earth, clay, and chalk.
We also touch on the science behind pica — the craving for non-food substances — and offer a judgment-free space to explore it safely and responsibly.

Advice for New Crunchers

New to crunching? Start here! We’ll guide you through everything from:

• Choosing your first clay or chalk

Exploring the Varieties of Earth

The world is full of rich, crunchy treasures — and we’re here to help you discover them.
We highlight different types of clay and chalk from around the globe, like:

• Indian dry fruit clay (smokey, gasoline-tinted, roasted crunch)

• Slates and dusts from volcanic regions

• Soils that mimic the scent of rain on dry ground

• Silky white chalks with that perfect snap

Learn how to compare flavours, textures, and even "stash-worthiness" — because every crunchy collector deserves a beautifully organised box of favourites.
