These whole flower buds are picked and dried before opening, to maintain their sweet, pungent, aromatic flavour.

Widely used in sauces, desserts, savoury recipes and baked goods in European and Asian cuisines.

This versatile spice is ground, and ready to use in your favourite recipes.

How To Use:

Add a pinch to marinades with garlic, soy sauce and citrus juices to give warm, aromatic notes. For a meat rub, mix with cinnamon, cumin and paprika.

Combine ½ tsp cinnamon, ¼ tsp allspice and ¼ tsp cloves as a spice blend for baked apples, stewed fruit and desserts.

Use ¾ tsp ground cloves in place of 1 tsp whole cloves.

Start with a small amount in curries, soups and rice dishes because a little goes a long way. Taste as you go.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. See Best Before date.
