Whole Clove Buds have a rich, fruity flavour with peppery notes. Native to Indonesia, cloves are easily distinguished by their nail-like forms. We hand-select these shapes because the sharp ends are useful when piercing food to impart flavour.
Highly valued among ancient civilizations such as the Roman Empire and throughout China, Cloves are commonly used in Indian, Middle Eastern and African dishes. Interestingly, it’s also known to be a natural insect repellent and effective against fungal infections.
Meanwhile, in traditional Chinese medicine, Cloves are used to warm the stomach, promote digestion, and relieve nausea and vomiting. This makes sense given that Cloves are a rich source of antioxidants and have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
If you grew up in the 1980s you will remember cloves being used to stud hams and onions. You may also remember sucking on cloves to relieve toothache! Cloves are highly potent and used around the world such as within Indian subcontinents to flavour rice and pickles. Learn more about whole cloves on our blog here.
