Cloves, Ground

Cloves, Ground

Cloves add a special and unique seasoning as a warm, sweet and strong flavoring that resemble tiny nails.

1 teaspoon is 2 grams and 6 calories.

Interesting ideas for flavorings include ginger bread, pumpkin pie, split pea soup, bean dishes, chili, spice cookies and cakes.

Another idea is to add ground cloves, walnuts and raisins to a stuffing recipe.

Purchase whole cloves if you can since the ground or powdered loses much of its flavor within 6 months or refrigerate.
