Essential Pantry Organic Whole Cloves

1 oz

These unopened buds from a tropical evergreen tree, belonging to the myrtle family, are used to flavor a multitude of dishes, both sweet and savory.

Cloves have historically been one of the world's most important spices, in demand in any number of world cuisines.

They are a main player in Indian and Asian spice mixtures and appear in Mediterranean dishes as a primary seasoning for meat and poultry.

Their European applications include mulled wines, gingerbread, and other sweet baked goods.

These organic whole cloves are also commonly used with fish, tongue, and pickled foods. The assertive, dark aroma and sharp, peppery taste mellow well with sweet flavors, especially when cooked; try them with apples, sweet potatoes, cranberries, and beets.
