Also Known As: Black Musli Root Whole, Curculigo orchioides Root, Kali Musli Whole Root, Krishna Musali Root
Part Used: Whole dried root of Curculigo orchioides
Description: Black Musli Root Whole is produced from the dried roots of Curculigo orchioides, a perennial herb found in tropical and subtropical regions of India and Southeast Asia. The roots are harvested once mature, thoroughly cleaned to remove natural soil residues, and slowly dried to preserve their natural shape, firm texture, and earthy brown colouring. In whole form, the roots maintain their characteristic elongated structure and dense interior.
Curculigo orchioides produces slender, fleshy roots that become firm and fibrous when dried. The whole dried roots retain subtle natural surface patterns and variations in shape that reflect their botanical origin. Their intact form makes them suitable for projects requiring recognisable plant pieces and natural root structure.
Fresh roots are washed, trimmed, and dried using controlled warm-air or low-temperature methods to reduce moisture while maintaining the root’s natural appearance. No additives, fillers, or processing agents are used, resulting in a pure plant-based material composed solely of dried whole roots.
Uses: Black Musli Root Whole is used in botanical craft projects, decorative root displays, educational herb collections, resin art, and natural material arrangements. Its sturdy structure and distinctive appearance make it well-suited for creative and visual applications requiring whole dried roots.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
