GROUND CLOVES: POWER FOOD WITH A POWERFUL AROMA

Ground cloves is a spice with a very dominant flavor. Cloves are the dried, still closed flower buds of the clove tree. The spice is a short stem with a flower bud on top, which contains the strongest aromas. The plant finds its origin in the Moluccas. Indonesia is still responsible for two thirds of the worldwide cultivation. In Indonesia cloves is an indispensable ingredient in the kitchen. In our country too, the versatility of cloves is increasingly recognized.

GROUND GLOVE IN SWEET DISHES

Ground cloves can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes. In the Netherlands we know the spice mainly as an ingredient of spice mixes for biscuits, mainly speculaas. It also tastes great in cakes, custard and pies. In sweet dishes clove ground can be combined perfectly with cinnamon, ginger, mace and nutmeg. Cloves are often confused with the latter. Not surprising, because both have a similar, spicy flavour and can be combined with other herbs and spices that are also predominant in character. Nevertheless, they come from two different plants.

CLOVE GROUND IN SAVORY DISHES

Although the use of the whole spice is most common in stews with beef and lamb, you can also use cloves ground in savory dishes. If you then add sage and pepper, this works really well. The spice has an intense flavor, which means you should be careful when using it.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR HEALTH

Clove ground is not only a strong flavoring in all kinds of dishes, the spice is also very healthy. Already two thousand years ago it was used in Asia for its medicinal properties. The spice has an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect, mainly thanks to the substance eugenol. This is the major component and is also found in nutmeg and basil.
