About the Product

Guru Foods Cloves are dried aromatic flower buds used as a spice for their characteristic intense aroma and warm, pungent flavour.

Known as Laung in Hindi and Laving/Lavang in several Indian languages, cloves are widely used in traditional Indian cooking as well as international cuisines.

Whole cloves can be used directly during cooking to infuse flavour into dishes or ground and incorporated into masalas, seasonings and premixes.

Because cloves have a naturally strong flavour, even a relatively small quantity can contribute noticeable aroma to a preparation.

Ingredient

Whole Cloves

The final ingredient declaration must always correspond with the actual product and approved packaging.

If the product consists entirely of whole cloves, the ingredient declaration can simply identify the ingredient as Cloves.

How to Use

1. Take the required quantity of Guru Foods Cloves.
2. Add whole cloves directly to hot oil, ghee or the cooking preparation where appropriate.
3. Allow them to release their aroma before adding other ingredients.
4. For rice, curries and gravies, cloves may be simmered with the dish.
5. For tea and beverages, use a small quantity according to the desired flavour intensity.
6. Cloves can also be ground before use in spice blends and masalas.

Because cloves have a strong and concentrated flavour, use according to the recipe and desired aroma.
