Cloves are used because they give a warm and distinctive taste. Foods such as pumpkin pies, curries, and soups use cloves as an ingredient. As we know, cloves have a sweet, bitter, hot, and savoury taste. Then this will add to the taste and exquisiteness of these dishes.



Cloves are also in demand for medicinal purposes. This is believed because of the content contained in cloves. First, cloves contain eugenol which has pain-relieving properties. This makes clove a natural painkiller and natural antioxidant. Both cloves contain manganese which is an essential mineral. Manganese is useful for building bone strength. It doesn't stop there. Cloves also have antimicrobial properties which of course can provide benefits for oral health to kill harmful bacteria. And also cloves can help insulin production so it is useful for reducing blood sugar in the body.



In addition to their unique and distinctive aroma, cloves keep another fragrance by providing benefits to us. This is why cloves are popular as a pomander when it is combined with orange.
