[Vyrtse] Cloves whole, 100g

Vyrtse - Cloves whole

Origin

The Moluccas Islands in South East Asia are home to the clove tree and therefore also the clove. There, between the islands of Sulawesi and New Guinea (belonging to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea), is home to a whole range of different spices (including nutmeg). This is why the Moluccas are also known colloquially as the Spice Islands.

Uses

Cloves are mainly used to flavor desserts such as apple sauce, preserved pears, plum jam and stewed fruit. In this combination, they harmonize with cinnamon, nutmeg, star anise and lemon. In small doses, cloves add a special note to stocks, soups, sauces and marinades.

In Asian cuisine, they are often part of various spice mixtures, such as curries

Cloves are said to have the following positive properties, among others:

• They have a positive effect on brain performance.
• They increase the number of white blood cells and thus strengthen the immune system.
• They can prevent the growth of some tumor cells.
• They support the intestines and liver in their tasks, prevent digestive problems and expel parasites.
• They have insulin-like properties and could therefore be used to treat diabetes.
• They have an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect.
• They contain antioxidants and thus combat free radicals in the body.
• They can combat a dangerous excess of iron in the blood (haemochromatosis).
• They increase the metabolism, allowing you to lose weight with the help of cloves.

Flavor

The taste of the flower head of a clove can be described as sweet and aromatic, but also sharp and burning. The stem, on the other hand, has a penetratingly bitter taste. The essential oils it contains are decisive for its smell and taste. Over 70 % of this oil consists of eugenol, a phenylpropanoid, which is also found in cinnamon oils. It is also found in laurel, banana, basil, cherries and nutmeg. The eugenol it contains has an anaesthetic effect, so chewing cloves can have a local pain-relieving effect. They are still a popular household remedy for toothache. To do this, a clove head is bitten into the affected tooth and left there for a while.

Goes well with

Punch, teas, cakes, sweet dishes, soups, red cabbage dishes and sauces
