Natural Whole Cloves
Cloves are one of the greatest natural spices known to civilizations for thousands of years. They are extracted from the flower buds of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum) and are characterized by their strong aroma and distinct spicy flavor. Cloves contain the active compound eugenol, which makes them a true treasure in the world of traditional medicine, nutrition, and beauty care.
