Loty Whole Cloves 4oz

Cloves are the aromatic flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. These buds are harvested before they bloom and are dried to be used as a spice. Whole cloves have a pungent aroma and a sweet, somewhat bitter flavor. They are widely used in cooking and baking, adding depth to dishes such as curries, stews, meats, and desserts like gingerbread and pumpkin pie. In addition to their culinary applications, cloves have been utilized in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits, including antimicrobial properties and aiding digestion. When using whole cloves, it’s common to remove them before serving, as they remain hard even after cooking.​
