Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum)

India is a significant producer and exporter of high-quality cloves, known for their rich aroma, intense flavour, and high eugenol content. Sourced mainly from Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, Indian cloves are prized in global markets for culinary use, essential oil extraction, and medicinal applications.

The dried flower buds are deep brown, nail-shaped, and exude a warm, sweet-spicy aroma with a slightly bitter, pungent taste. Cloves are a key ingredient in spice blends, curries, baked goods, beverages, and traditional herbal remedies.
