Cloves Ground

Ameen Foods Ground Cloves are made from finely milled Syzygium aromaticum flower buds, delivering the warm, intensely aromatic flavor cloves are famous for. Native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, cloves have been treasured for centuries as one of the world's most potent baking and cooking spices.

With their bold, sweet-spicy profile and pungent aroma, ground cloves are a staple in baking, mulled beverages, curries, and spice blends. A pinch brings warmth and depth to pumpkin pie, gingerbread, chai, and holiday roasts, while larger cuisines rely on it as a cornerstone of garam masala and Chinese five-spice.

Fragrant and full-bodied, ground cloves also lend their signature warmth to mulled wine, cider, and pickling brines, where their intensity balances sweetness and acidity.

Bold, aromatic, and unmistakably festive — Ameen Foods Ground Cloves bring rich depth to both sweet and savory kitchens.

How to use it

Use an eighth to a quarter teaspoon in a spice cake, a mincemeat, a garam masala or a ham glaze. It also goes into a biryani masala and a mulled wine mix, in each case in very small amounts. Ground clove is one of the easiest spices to overdo, so measure it rather than shaking it in. Technique tip: add it near the end of a long braise, since ground clove loses its sweetness over an hour of cooking and keeps its numbing bitterness.
