• Product Overview: Laung, or whole clove buds, are the dried flower buds of the clove tree and one of the most intensely aromatic spices in the Indian pantry. Our cloves are plump, dark brown and full of natural oil, with a strong fragrance that signals freshness. They are indispensable in biryani, garam masala, masala chai and many traditional recipes.

• Ingredients: Cloves.

• Flavour & Aroma: Clove has a strong, sweet, warm and slightly numbing flavour with a peppery finish. Its aroma is deep, spicy and instantly recognisable. Because it is so potent, even one or two buds can flavour an entire dish.

• Best Uses & Recipe Ideas:
◦ Rice dishes: add whole buds to the tempering of pulao, biryani and jeera rice.
◦ Masala chai: crush one or two with ginger and cardamom for a fragrant cup of tea.
◦ Garam masala: grind with cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper for a signature masala.
◦ Curries and dals: use in meat curries, rajma, chole and rich gravies.
◦ Pickles and sweets: used in some pickles, syrups and festive sweets for a warm aroma.

• Traditional Use & Wellness Note: Cloves have long been part of Indian households, used in cooking, pooja, paan and winter home recipes. Many people keep a few in the pantry for their aroma and flavour. Cloves are strong, so use them sparingly as a food ingredient.

• Cooking Tips: Two to four cloves are usually enough for a pot of rice or curry. Remove the whole buds before eating if you dislike biting into them. Lightly roast before grinding for a smoother, more rounded flavour.

• Quality & Purity: Whole Clove Buds (Laung) is cleaned, sorted and carefully packed so that every pack delivers uniform, premium-quality spice with natural aroma. We do not add artificial colours, artificial flavours or fillers, so what you receive is the pure ingredient listed above and nothing else.

• Storage & Shelf Life: Keep Whole Clove Buds (Laung) in a clean, dry, airtight glass or steel jar away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. Close the lid tightly after every use and always use a dry spoon. Stored properly, whole spices hold their aroma and flavour far longer than ground ones.

• Kitchen Handy Tip: Whole spices are best bought in smaller quantities and replenished regularly, so that you always cook with fresh, fragrant spice rather than a stale one.

• Dietary Suitability: Made entirely from a single plant-based ingredient, Whole Clove Buds (Laung) is suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. It contains no added sugar and no artificial additives, and it fits easily into traditional Indian, continental and Asian home cooking.

• Usage Guide: whole spices are strong, so begin with a small amount, usually a pinch to one teaspoon for a family-sized dish, depending on the recipe. You can always add more later, but you cannot take it out once the dish is cooked.

• Bulk & Gifting: popular with families who stock up for the season, with caterers who need dependable quality, and with customers who like to assemble their own masala boxes or festive hampers.

• Why Choose This: Suitable for home kitchens, restaurants, caterers, tiffin services and festive cooking. Buy it in the pack size that suits your needs and enjoy the same consistent taste in every meal. It also makes a thoughtful addition to a gift hamper of Indian spices.
