What Are Cloves?
Cloves are a fragrant spice made
from the dried flowers of the clove tree. In the past, spices used to be worth
their weight in gold, and cloves were no exception. Native to the Spice Islands
near China, cloves spread throughout Europe and Asia during the late Middle
Ages as a key part of local cuisine. Today, cloves remain a popular spice that
gives many dishes a subtly sweet warmth.
What are ground cloves?
Cloves can be used whole or ground.
You might include ground cloves in spice mixes and whole cloves in recipes to
add depth and flavor to a wide variety of foods. These small dark brown pods
are used in curries, seasoned meats, Worcestershire sauce, baked goods, chai, and Chinese five-spice blends. They also offer some health

Some health
benefits of cloves include:
Lower
inflammation. Cloves
contain many compounds known for their anti-inflammatory properties, with
eugenol being the most important. It's been shown to reduce your body's
inflammatory response, which can lower your risk of health issues such as arthritis and
help manage symptoms.
Fewer
free radicals. Cloves
are full of antioxidants, including eugenol. Antioxidants help your body fight
free radicals, which damage your cells. By removing free radicals from your
system, the antioxidants found in cloves can help lower your risk of developing
heart disease, diabetes,
and certain cancers.
Reduced
ulcers. Some
studies show that cloves may help protect your stomach from ulcers. Most ulcers
are caused by thinning of the layers of mucus that protect your stomach lining.
Early research shows that eating cloves in large amounts can thicken this
mucus, lowering your risk of getting ulcers and helping to heal ulcers that you
already have.
Improved
liver function. Cloves
may also help your liver work better. Some studies have shown that eugenol
found in cloves can also help reduce signs of liver cirrhosis and
fatty liver disease.
