Ground cloves are derived from the dried flower buds of the clove tree, native to Indonesia and widely used in both culinary and medicinal traditions worldwide. This aromatic spice is a staple in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Western cuisines, particularly in spice blends like garam masala and pumpkin spice. It has a warm, slightly sweet and piercing flavor, often featured in baked goods, savory dishes, and beverages. Nutritionally, ground cloves are rich in antioxidants, including eugenol, which offers anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits. They provide small amounts of vitamins like Vitamin K and minerals such as manganese, supporting bone health and metabolism. However, cloves are potent and should be consumed in moderation; excessive intake may cause irritation or interact with certain medications. Ground cloves are a flavorful way to enhance dishes while contributing beneficial properties when used thoughtfully in a balanced diet.
