Cloves (Laung): The Aromatic Spice with Bold Flavor and Medicinal Strength

Introduction
Cloves, known as " Laung" in Hindi, are the aromatic flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree. These small, brown, nail-shaped buds are renowned for their strong, pungent flavor and extensive health benefits.

A key ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes, cloves have been a treasured spice for centuries. At Vishwarupa Global Trades Vision Private Limited, we offer the finest quality cloves, sourced from the best-growing regions to ensure maximum flavor and potency.

Origin and Cultivation
Our cloves are sourced from the lush, tropical regions of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, where the Syzygium aromaticum tree thrives in the warm, humid climate. The flower buds are handpicked before they open and are then dried in the sun, turning them into the dark, aromatic cloves.

After harvesting, the cloves are meticulously sorted and cleaned to meet our strict quality standards.

Flavor Profile

Cloves have an intense, warm, and spicy flavor with sweet undertones, characterized by their strong aroma. The primary compound responsible for their distinct flavor is eugenol, which gives cloves their potent, numbing effect. The flavor is powerful, so cloves are usually used in small quantities to add depth and complexity to dishes.

Culinary Uses
Cloves are a versatile spice used in various cuisines around the world, adding warmth and flavor to a wide range of dishes:

Indian Cuisine: In Indian cooking, cloves are a key component of garam masala, biryanis, curries, and chai. They are often used to
flavor rice dishes, meat curries, and gravies, adding a rich, aromatic touch.

Baking and Desserts: Cloves are frequently used in baking, especially in spiced cakes, cookies, and desserts like fruitcakes
and gingerbread. They are also used to flavor preserves and compete.

Savory Dishes: In Western cooking, cloves are used to flavor roasted meats, marinades, and sauces. They are often studded
into hams or added to stews for a warm, spicy kick.

Beverages: Cloves are a popular spice in mulled wine, hot cider, and chai tea, where their warmth and spiciness complement the
sweetness of the drink.

Pickling and Preservation: Cloves are used in pickling brines and spice blends for preserving vegetables and fruits, adding a
distinctive flavor that enhances the overall taste.

Infused Oils and Vinegars: The strong flavor of cloves makes them ideal for infusing oils and vinegars, which can then be used
to add a spicy note to salads, dressings, and marinades.
