Clove

Syzgium aromaticum

Cloves are the flower buds from an evergreen rainforest tree native to Indonesia. Cloves hold many essential oils, tannins, flavanoids, and triterpenoids, which are all beneficial constituents for healthy body function. Cloves also contain many minerals including potassium, manganese, iron, selenium, and magnesium. Potassium is a beneficial electrolyte for the body and helps to maintain healthy blood levels. Clove Oil can be used as a pallatant or masking agent to add a dimension of flavor to otherwise bland or bitter products in a variety of food and feed applications. Clove Oil also works as an effective insect repellent as well as an aroma.
