About Ground cloves

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.
