Spice Grab and Go: Ground Cloves
Registration is not required. Available while supplies last.
Stop by the Info Desk from 9:30-5 for our Spice Grab and Go. This month, we're featuring ground cloves.
Cloves come from the flower buds of an evergreen tree that is native to the North Moluccas Islands in Indonesia. Clove trees grow to about 26-40 feet and flower after about 6 years. The tree becomes fully mature in 20 years and can bear fruit for more than 80 years. The flower buds gradually develop in color and are ready for collecting when they turn bright red. After harvesting, clove buds are spread out in a thin layer on a mat to dry in the sun or by using an artificial dryer.
Cloves have an earthy sweet favor. This spice can be used for cooking or baking.
This spice was processed in a facility with nuts. Please do not use if you have a nut allergy.
