Benefits of the Clove

The clove tree, known as Syzygiumaromaticum, is native to Southeast Asia. There are many health benefits to cloves including supporting liver health, helping stabilize blood sugar levels, and may help reduce stomach ulcers.

Cloves contain vitamin K, potassium, beta-carotene, fiber, and minerals. So, using whole or ground cloves to add flavor to your food can also provide some important nutrients. They contain 55% of the daily value of manganese. This is an essential mineral for maintaining brain function and building strong bones.

Cloves are also low in calories and high in antioxidants, including eugenol, which can help reduce oxidative stress.
