What it is

Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree, native to Indonesia. They have a strong, pungent, and sweet aroma and flavor. The buds are harvested by hand before they open and then dried.

Why it's used

Clove powder is primarily used as a spice to add a warm, aromatic flavor to foods. It is common in baked goods, desserts, savory dishes, and beverages like mulled cider. Manufacturers use it to enhance or impart a specific flavor profile.

Health notes

In the US, cloves are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a spice or flavoring. They contain compounds that have been studied for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. International bodies like EFSA have evaluated clove oil, but specific evaluations for clove powder at typical dietary intake levels may vary. Evidence for significant health benefits or risks at normal consumption levels is limited.

Allergen info

Cloves are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
