Tips
Great ideas for purchasing, storing, and consuming cloves.
- Buy whole cloves from the bulk bins at your local grocery store, or find them in jars on the spice aisle at most grocery stores.
- If you can’t find whole cloves, look for ground cloves with no additives or fillers—just ground cloves! This is one of those spices where you don’t want anything else mixed in with it.
- Look for firm, plump cloves that are well-formed and free of blemishes.
- Store whole cloves in an airtight container away from heat and light, which can cause them to lose their flavor. You can also freeze them in an airtight container for up to one year if you aren’t using them right away.
- Cloves are delicious when added to soups, stews, sautéed vegetables, and curries. They can also be used as a spice rub for meat before grilling or roasting it.
