Cloves

A distinctive feature of Cloves are that it is one of the most strong and oily of all spices. They will easily overpower other flavours, so a balancing act is crucial to bringing out the best in this product. They are an essential component of many spice blends like five-spice powder or garam masala and are used commonly in a most beloved dish in Singapore, “Nasi Biryani”. Cloves lose their oils quickly when ground, so purchase frequently and don’t keep anything that’s stale.
