What it is

Cinnamon comes from the inner bark of trees from the Cinnamomum genus, while cloves are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree. Both are warm, aromatic spices used globally in sweet and savory dishes. They are typically sold as ground powders or whole pieces.

Why it's used

Cinnamon and cloves are primarily used to add flavor and aroma to a wide variety of foods, especially baked goods, desserts, and beverages. They can also be used in savory dishes like curries and stews, and as a natural preservative due to antimicrobial properties.

Health notes

Cinnamon and cloves are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. They contain compounds that may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, though more research is needed. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these spices. Some studies suggest potential benefits for blood sugar management, but evidence is mixed and more high-quality human trials are required.

Allergen info

Cinnamon and cloves are not among the FDA's 9 major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
