Cloves are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, native to Indonesia and widely used in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Western cuisines. Known for their warm, sweet, and slightly peppery flavor, cloves are a staple in spice blends, desserts, teas, and savory dishes. Rich in antioxidants, particularly eugenol, cloves may support reduced inflammation and promote oral health. They are an excellent source of manganese, which helps with bone health and metabolism, and also contain small amounts of vitamin K and fiber. However, their intense flavor means they are often used sparingly, which limits their contribution of nutrients in some recipes. Consumed excessively, clove oil or concentrated forms may irritate the mucous membranes or lead to health issues. Incorporating cloves into meals in moderation allows you to enjoy their robust flavor and potential health benefits.
