Harvesting

Organic cloves are typically grown in tropical regions with rich, well-drained soil and ample sunlight. The cloves are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, which is native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. The buds are harvested just before they bloom, usually during the rainy season from June to September. After harvesting, the cloves are dried until they turn a deep reddish-brown colour, which is characteristic of the spice. Post-harvest, the cloves are carefully dried and then ground into a fine powder. This process helps to preserve the flavour and aroma of the spice while making it convenient for culinary use.

The composition of organic ground cloves includes essential oils such as eugenol, as well as flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals. These natural components contribute to the distinct aroma, flavour, and potential health benefits of the spice. As a natural raw product, organic ground cloves are rich in nutrients like manganese, vitamin K, and fibre, making them a valuable addition to a healthy diet.

The organic nature of Organic Ground Cloves means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Ground Cloves in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
