Clove, whole

Botanical Name: Syzygium aromaticum

Taste: pungent, strong and sweet with a bitter, astringent flavor

Medicinal Uses: numbs toothaches and helps prevent gum disease

 

The clove is actually the bud of a flower harvested before it opens, keeping its aromatic fragrance and flavor inside. The pungent aroma can be smelled from afar. Their taste can easily overpower all other flavors in a dish, so be sure to use them sparingly. Cloves are used in sweet dishes and baked goods such as pumpkin and apple pies. They also pair with root vegetables like sweet potatoes and beets.

 

Testimonies
1. I love HEO's Whole Clove! I used it last night in a pickled beet recipe and they smelled fresh and quite amazing when you open the container! I can’t wait to purchase more whole spices to use while I cook. - Lindsay

 

2. The quality of HEO's Whole Clove (and all the spices I've tried thus far) is amazing. The aroma and flavor are beyond anything I've ever experienced.
