Whole Cloves

Cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of an evergreen tree of the myrtle family, originating in the Moluccas, the fabled Spice Islands. They derive their name from clavus, the Latin word for “nail.”

Cloves are the most pungent of all spices. They add a pleasant flavor to stewed apples and peaches, pork and ham roasts, and soups. They enhance pumpkin pie, chocolate puddings, spiced drinks, stuffings, and stews. India Tree cloves are premium quality–hand-picked when still green, plump, whole, and rich in volatile oils.

Add India Tree Hand-picked Cloves to baked apples or peaches; use them in holiday recipes for pumpkin pie, glazed ham, and sweet potato dishes; try them with meats such as lamb and beef, as well as with vegetable dishes.
