Cloves
Code : P9251

Cloves are the small, reddish-brown dried flower buds of the tropical evergreen tree Syzygium aromaticum, native to Indonesia. They have a strong, pungent, and aromatic taste, with a sweet and spicy aroma. Cloves are widely used as a spice in both sweet and savory dishes, including meats, baked goods, curries, and beverages like tea and mulled wine. The distinctive flavor and aroma come primarily from the essential oil eugenol, which makes up a large percentage of the clove bud. Besides culinary uses, cloves are valued for their potential medicinal benefits, possessing antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
