About
Whole conventional cloves are the dried flower buds of the *Syzygium aromaticum* tree, prized in bulk cooking and natural wellness traditions. With a bold, warm, and slightly sweet flavour, cloves are widely used in sweet and savoury dishes. While cloves have long-standing historical uses in traditional medicine, their active compounds like eugenol should be used thoughtfully and in moderation. For those in Australia seeking an eco-friendly, wholesale spice option, our cloves are perfect for culinary, craft, and home remedy applications.
As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.

Recipe Ideas Using Cloves
1. Classic Spiced Chai
In a saucepan, simmer 2 cups water, 2 black tea bags, 2 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, 3 cardamom pods, and a slice of fresh ginger. After 5–7 minutes, add 1 cup milk and sweeten with honey. Strain and serve warm.
2. Orange & Clove Glazed Ham
Score the surface of a ham and stud it with whole cloves. Mix 1 cup orange juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard. Brush over the ham and bake at 180°C for 1–1.5 hours, basting occasionally for a sticky, fragrant glaze.
