Description

Ground cloves are the powdered form of cloves, a spice obtained from the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree. Originating from the Maluku Islands in Indonesia, cloves have been revered since ancient times for both their intense, sweet aroma and their multiple uses in cooking and traditional medicine.

In gastronomy, ground cloves provide a warm, slightly spicy, and very aromatic flavor, making them ideal for sweet and savory dishes, marinades, stews, pastries, and beverages like punch or spiced tea. Furthermore, their versatility makes them an essential ingredient in many cuisines around the world.

Properties: Ground cloves contain essential oils like eugenol, known for their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. They help enhance the flavor of foods and can contribute to improved digestion.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: clavitos molidos, clavo de olor molido.
