Cloves

Cloves are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, used across South Asian, Middle Eastern and European cuisines for their warm, pungent aroma and intense flavor; they appear as whole buds or ground into a powder. They’re typically used in small amounts to flavor stews, marinades, baked goods and spice blends rather than eaten on their own. Nutritionally Cloves are notable for their fiber content, providing about 33.9g per 100g, and they supply micronutrients such as manganese and vitamin K in concentrated amounts when measured by weight — though in practice they’re consumed in tiny quantities. Because of their potency, a little goes a long way to add flavor without adding much volume of other macronutrients. Cloves also contain aromatic compounds (notably eugenol) that contribute antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects in laboratory studies, and their concentrated nutrient and phytochemical profile is one reason they’re valued both culinarily and traditionally in herbal remedies.Read more
