Role in food

Cloves are primarily used as a spice to add flavor and aroma to foods. …

What it is

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

Why it's used

Cloves are primarily used as a spice to add flavor and aroma to foods. They are common in baked goods, desserts, savory dishes, sauces, and marinades. Manufacturers use them for their distinct warm, sweet, and slightly bitter taste.

Health notes

Cloves are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a spice. They contain compounds that have shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in laboratory studies. However, high concentrations or concentrated extracts may cause adverse effects. JECFA has evaluated cloves and set a specification for their use as a food flavoring.

Allergen info

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