Introducing our premium Cloves, sourced from the aromatic dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, belonging to the myrtaceae family.
Native to the Maluku islands in Indonesia, these exceptional spice treasures have transcended borders to become a vital ingredient in global cuisines. At Green Asia Commodities (Pvt) Ltd, we bring you the finest quality cloves with a rich history and versatile applications.
Renowned for their distinct flavor and fragrance, cloves are a staple spice in kitchens worldwide. From enhancing the taste of culinary delights to lending a unique aroma to cigarettes, these aromatic buds have a multifaceted presence. Beyond their culinary uses, cloves are valued for their versatility, being employed in the production of oils, serving as antiseptics, and finding applications in various medicinal remedies.
The unmistakable flavor of cloves arises from the dominant presence of Eugenol, a compound that contributes to 70-90% of its composition, imbuing it with a robust and captivating aroma. Beyond their seasoning prowess, cloves have a storied history of offering health benefits, traditionally used to address a range of ailments.
One notable attribute is their efficacy in providing relief from toothaches, a quality that has made cloves a common ingredient in 99% of toothpaste formulations. The essential oil derived from cloves, a colorless or slightly yellowish liquid, darkening with age and exposure to light, possesses a numbing effect on mouth tissues, making it an invaluable resource in dental emergencies.
In addition to their culinary and medicinal significance, Sri Lankan cloves hold a special place as a minor export agriculture product. Cultivated primarily in the central and Sabaragamuwa provinces, the Sri Lankan cloves season kicks off in November and extends throughout the year, contingent on quantity. With an estimated annual output ranging from 4000 to 5000 metric tons in favorable seasons, our cloves stand testament to the dedication and expertise embedded in every harvest.
Indulge in the rich heritage and quality of Green Asia Commodities, where our cloves transcend geographical boundaries to bring you an exquisite sensory experience and a host of culinary and medicinal benefits.
