Clove/Long

Clove Long is a dried flower bud of Syzygium aromaticum, a tropical evergreen tree native to Indonesia but widely cultivated in India. This listing offers whole cloves with intact stems, retaining the full volatile oil content that defines their pungent aroma and warm, sweet flavour. The buds are hand-picked at the pre-bloom stage to ensure maximum eugenol concentration, the compound responsible for clove’s antiseptic and analgesic properties.

The product is sourced from India’s southern coastal regions, where the climate and soil conditions produce cloves with a typical moisture content of 8-12% and a volatile oil yield of 15-20% by weight. Cloves from this origin are known for their deep brown colour, uniform size of 10-15 mm, and low foreign matter content, typically under 1%. The buds are sun-dried to preserve their natural colour and aroma, a standard practice in the industry.

Clove Long is primarily used in culinary applications, Ayurvedic medicine, and essential oil extraction. Importers in the food industry source it for spice blends, meat processing, and beverage flavouring, while pharmaceutical buyers value it for its eugenol content, used in dental and antiseptic products. Buyers should confirm packaging preferences, as bulk shipments are standard in 25 kg or 50 kg jute bags, and lead times depend on harvest seasons, typically October to March.
