Cloves don’t stop at brain health. Here are more reasons to love them:
🟤 Rich in antioxidants – combats free radicals, lowering the risk of chronic diseases.
🟤 Anti-inflammatory – supports joint health and reduces inflammation throughout the body.
🟤 Digestive aid – eases bloating and discomfort thanks to carminative properties.
🟤 Immune booster – their antimicrobial action helps the body fight infections.
What Do Cloves Taste Like?
Cloves have a warm, slightly sweet, and pungent flavor. They’re strong and aromatic, which is why just a pinch goes a long way. Imagine a mix between cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper — but sharper and more intense. Anything but boring!!
Ways to Use Cloves in Everyday Meals
1. Clove Infusion Tea
Boil water, drop in 2–3 cloves, let steep for 5 minutes, strain, and sip. A soothing, aromatic tea that’s perfect before bed.
2. Smoothie Upgrade
Add a small pinch of ground clove into apple, banana, or pear smoothies for a warm, spicy note.
3. Baking Favorite
Cookies, cakes, and pies LOVE cloves. They pair beautifully with cinnamon and nutmeg. (I’m kicking myself for not having snapped a photo of my last spiced apple cake!)
4. Savory Enhancer
