East End Cloves (Long) Whole – 20x200g

Description

East End Whole Cloves, aromatic long buds in 200g packs

East End Cloves are whole dried clove buds from East End Foods, supplied as 20 x 200 g, meaning twenty 200g packs to a case. Long refers to the long, well-formed buds. Cloves bring a strong, sweet and warming aroma to both savoury and sweet cooking. The case suits caterers and spice shops, while a single 200g pack lasts a home cook a long time.

Key Features

• 20x200g case means twenty 200g packs of whole cloves
• Whole buds hold their aroma longer than ground cloves
• Warm, sweet and pungent flavour for curries, rice, mulled drinks and baking
• Larger 200g packs suit caterers and keen home cooks alike
• From East End Foods, a long-established South Asian brand

Cooking and Uses 

Add whole cloves to pilau and biryani rice, curry bases, stocks and marinades, or use them in mulled wine, chai and syrups. Fry them briefly in oil at the start of cooking to release their aroma, or stud an onion for slow braises. Use them sparingly, as cloves are potent, and remove the whole buds before serving if you prefer.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from light, with the pack sealed between uses. Whole cloves keep their strength well when kept airtight. Use within the date on the pack.
