Whole Clove Buds — Bold, Aromatic & 100% Certified Organic

Whole cloves are one of the most striking spices in the rack — those tiny, nail-shaped buds pack an extraordinary punch of warm, spicy-sweet, almost medicinal intensity. Our Premium Organic Cloves Whole are sun-dried at peak ripeness to lock in their natural eugenol content, giving you the full depth of flavour and aroma that whole cloves are prized for across cuisines from India to Indonesia to the Caribbean.

100% Certified Organic — no pesticides, no additives
Sun-dried whole buds — longer shelf life than ground, grind fresh as needed
Versatile across sweet & savoury — from biryani to mulled wine to baking
Secure checkout & free shipping on orders over $120

Health Benefits

  • Highest antioxidant spice: Cloves have one of the highest ORAC (antioxidant) scores of any food
  • Natural pain relief: Eugenol is used in dentistry as a topical analgesic — cloves have been used for toothache relief for centuries
  • Digestive support: Traditionally used to relieve nausea, bloating, and gas
  • Antimicrobial: Studied for its ability to inhibit harmful bacteria and fungi

How to Use Whole Cloves

  • Biryani & pilaf: Add 3–4 whole cloves to hot oil at the start of cooking for a deep, aromatic base
  • Mulled wine & cider: Simmer with cinnamon sticks, star anise, and orange peel for a classic winter warmer
  • Masala chai: Add 2 cloves to your chai blend for a warming, spiced depth
  • Stews & braises: Stud an onion with cloves and add to slow-cooked stews for subtle background warmth
  • Pickling & preserving: A classic addition to pickled vegetables, chutneys, and spiced vinegars
  • Grind fresh: Use a spice grinder or mortar and pestle for freshly ground cloves — far more aromatic than pre-ground

Pro tip: Always remove whole cloves before serving — biting into one is an intense experience!
