Cloves: History and benefits (basic kitchen herb series)

Today's episode of the Basic Kitchen Herb series features cloves (Eugenia caryophyllata), the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, boasting a rich history dating back millennia to their origins in the Moluccas, Indonesia – the legendary "Spice Islands." Valued for their potent aroma and flavor, they were a prized commodity in ancient trade networks, reaching China as early as 200 BCE, where courtiers chewed them to freshen their breath before addressing the emperor. By the Middle Ages, cloves were a highly sought-after spice in Europe.

Beyond their culinary uses, cloves have been cherished for their purported health benefits. They can be used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat ailments such as indigestion, nausea, toothaches, and respiratory issues, among others. This traditional wisdom is increasingly supported by modern research.
