Cloves, the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum, are a highly valued spice with a rich history and versatile applications. Sourced from the KANJIRAPALLY ESTATE in Kerala, these cloves are cultivated at an elevation of 3500 feet, near the Periyar Tiger Reserve. Unlike commercially grown varieties, these cloves are carefully harvested from kitchen gardens nurtured by a family-owned estate since 1960, ensuring their quality, purity, and sustainable production.

Flavour and Aroma

Cloves are renowned for their warm, sweet, and slightly peppery flavour. Their bold aroma and spicy undertones make them a cornerstone of Indian cuisine, as well as a key ingredient in desserts, beverages, and savoury dishes. Perfect for enhancing biryanis, curries, spiced teas, mulled wines, and baked goods, these premium whole cloves bring complexity and depth to your recipes.

Nutritional and Medicinal Benefits

Cloves are a powerhouse of nutrients and beneficial compounds:

• Rich in Antioxidants: The high concentration of eugenol helps combat oxidative stress, protecting the body from free radicals.
• Supports Oral Health: Known for their antibacterial properties, cloves can help alleviate gum pain, freshen breath, and promote overall dental hygiene.
• Regulates Blood Sugar: Studies suggest that compounds in cloves, such as nigricin, may enhance insulin function and maintain healthy glucose levels, benefiting those with diabetes.
• Boosts Immunity: By purifying the blood and fighting off harmful pathogens, cloves strengthen the body’s natural defence mechanisms.
• Bone Health: Enriched with manganese, cloves play a crucial role in maintaining bone density and strength, making them an excellent addition to a balanced diet.
• Digestive Aid: Cloves can alleviate common digestive issues like bloating, nausea, and upset stomach, thanks to their soothing properties.
