Clove Powder
From N$55.00
Clove powder is a finely ground spice derived from the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. Prized for centuries across Asian, African, and Middle Eastern cuisines and traditional medicine, it carries a bold, warm, and slightly sweet flavour profile that is instantly recognisable. Its active compound, eugenol, is what gives clove its powerful antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties — making it far more than just a cooking spice. Whether you’re adding it to a slow-cooked curry, blending it into a chai, formulating a natural skin treatment, or crafting a spiced candle, clove powder brings depth, warmth, and proven natural potency to whatever it touches.
