Cloves, Whole, 2 oz.

Whole Cloves – Warming, Aromatic & Traditionally Healing

Cloves are the dried flower buds of a tropical evergreen tree and have been used for thousands of years in both culinary and medicinal traditions. This rich, pungent spice is a staple in Indian cooking, lending depth and warmth to rice, meat dishes, and curries. It's also essential in seasonal favorites like chai, cider, and mulled wine.

Beyond the kitchen, cloves are valued in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for their soothing, antiseptic, and aphrodisiac properties. A classic folk remedy for toothaches involves placing a whole clove near the affected tooth to benefit from its natural numbing and antibacterial compounds. During the holidays, whole cloves are often used to stud oranges and create fragrant pomander balls that add beauty and aroma to any space.

Note: Whole cloves are typically removed after cooking, as their intense flavor can overwhelm a dish when eaten directly.

Key Benefits:

• Naturally antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory (rich in eugenol)

• Supports digestion and oral health

• Adds depth and warmth to both sweet and savory dishes

• Traditional aphrodisiac and circulatory stimulant
