Harvesting

Organic whole cloves thrive in tropical climates with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil and abundant sunlight. Harvested from the Syzygium aromaticum tree, these aromatic flower buds are hand-picked at their peak when they take on a pink hue, typically during the rainy season from September to January. Once collected, the buds are sun-dried until they develop their deep reddish-brown colour, a sign of readiness for use in both culinary and medicinal applications.

Packed with essential oils like eugenol, organic whole cloves are prized for their intense flavour and warming aroma. They are also a natural source of manganese, vitamin K, and dietary fibre, offering both taste and health benefits. Perfect for spicing up baked goods, stews, and beverages, these cloves are a staple in many cuisines and a versatile ingredient for elevating dishes with their bold, aromatic profile.

The organic nature of Organic Whole Cloves means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Whole Cloves in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

Traditional Mulled Apple Cider

Infuse a pot of apple cider with the warm, aromatic flavour of organic whole cloves. Simply heat the cider on the stove, add a handful of cloves, and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes. The result is a comforting and fragrant beverage perfect for chilly evenings.

Clove-Spiced Lentil Stew

Enhance a lentil stew with the earthy and slightly sweet flavour of organic whole cloves. Add a few cloves to the pot along with other spices like cumin and coriander for a unique and warming twist on a classic plant-based dish. The cloves will impart a depth of flavour that complements the earthiness of the lentils.

Clover Honey

In a medium pot, bring 10 cups of organic sugar and 3 cups of water to a boil for 6-7 minutes and stir. Remove from heat and add 36 white and 18 red clover blossoms. Let it stand for 20 mins and strain through a double layer cheesecloth and bottle. Clover honey is high in flavanols, antioxidants that can help keep your blood pressure in check if you eat them regularly. Lower bad cholesterol. High cholesterol levels are another risk factor for heart disease

The History of Organic Whole Cloves

Organic whole cloves have a rich history dating back thousands of years. Originating in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, cloves were highly prized and sought after by ancient civilisations for their aromatic and medicinal properties. They were traded along the historic Spice Route, reaching Europe in the 4th century. Cloves were so valuable that they played a significant role in the exploration and colonization of the East Indies. Today, organic whole cloves continue to be cherished for their intense flavour and numerous health benefits, carrying on the legacy of their exotic origins and centuries-old heritage.
