Clove & Clove Stem
In Indonesia, cloves are primarily grown in the Maluku Islands (also known as the Spice Islands), which is the region where cloves originated. The aromatic flower buds from the Syzygium aromaticum tree native to Indonesia, are widely used in cuisines worldwide for their warm, sweet, and slightly peppery flavor. Known for their rich content of eugenol, Cloves have been valued for centuries not only for their culinary uses but also for their medicinal properties. They possess antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant qualities, making them useful in traditional remedies for toothaches, infections, and digestive issues. While they add depth to dishes, especially in Indian, African, and Middle Eastern cooking, their health benefits are equally impressive, though their potency requires moderation to avoid adverse effects.
Clove stems are the parts of the clove tree that remain after the flower buds (which become the cloves we commonly use as a spice) are harvested. These stems are often considered a by-product of the clove harvesting process, but they are still rich in eugenol, the same compound that gives cloves their medicinal and aromatic properties. It is use for Essential Oil, Flavoring & Medicinal Uses.
