Organic Whole Cloves – USDA Certified (India)
Intense Aroma. High Oil Content. The "Heart" of Spice. 🌿
A single clove can transform a dish. But only if it is fresh.
SpiceBloom’s Organic Whole Cloves are hand-harvested from the flowering buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree in India. These are 100% USDA Certified Organic, meaning they are grown without synthetic pesticides or chemicals.
Dried naturally in the sun, they are plump, oily, and reddish-brown—never dry or brittle. Squeeze the stem with your fingernail, and you will feel the release of Eugenol (essential oil). That is the sign of a premium clove that will numb your tongue and bring warmth to your biryanis, chai, and apple pies.
🌟 How to Spot a "Dead" Clove (The Water Test)
Want to know if your cloves are fresh? Drop one into a glass of water.
- ✅ Good Cloves (Ours): Will float vertically (head up) or sink. This means they are heavy with essential oils.
- ❌ Bad Cloves: Will float horizontally (flat) on the surface. This means the oil has evaporated, and they are flavourless.
🔥 Culinary & Wellness Uses
- The Perfect Chai: Crush 2 cloves with cardamom and ginger for a tea that warms you from the inside out.
- Aromatic Rice: Throw 3-4 whole cloves into your Basmati rice water. It gives the rice a subtle, exotic perfume.
- Festive Baking: Essential for gingerbread, fruit cakes, and studded into roast hams.
- Natural Remedy: Traditionally used in India to chew on for fresh breath or to soothe toothaches (due to the numbing eugenol oil).

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Why are they so strong?
Our cloves are organic and packed fresh. They retain their natural oils, which makes them much more potent than the dry, dusty cloves that sit in supermarket jars for years. Use sparingly!
2. Can I grind them?
Yes! Freshly ground cloves are incredibly powerful. We recommend grinding small amounts as needed using a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder to keep the flavour peak.
3. Are they gluten-free?
Yes, our Organic Whole Cloves are naturally gluten-free and vegan.

Let customers speak for us
A satisfactory very experience purchasing from this company.
i recently purchased the organic Matcha Powder, and although I am a sceptic with these things at times, I have definitely noticed an increase in energy levels, as an older woman I had been finding a need for an afternoon Nap, which i didnt enjoy, however, since taking the Matcha early mornings , it is no longer necessary, also, I have noticed a new sense of 'wellness" so I am very happy with my purchase. I also just received the organic super greens blend , as yet, to try. Very happy with my purchase, and experience with the company .
Love that this product is organic. Tastes great.
I use this Organic Turmeric Powder not just in dinner dishes but also a 1/4 tsp of this Turmeric powder in my morning Green tea with a sprinkle of Organic Black pepper. Yum
Perfect pepper for my grinder. Organic too.
