Syzygium Aromaticum · Flower Bud Powder · Laung · Grampu · 100g (3.5 oz)
The Most Powerful Spice in Your Kitchen — Culinary Depth, Toothache Killer, Immunity Builder
Cloves are not seeds, not leaves, not roots — they’re dried flower buds, picked before they bloom and sun-dried until they harden into the intensely aromatic spice that has shaped cuisines and medicine systems across the world for over 2,000 years. The secret is eugenol — a compound that makes up 80–90% of clove’s essential oil — which is simultaneously one of the most powerful natural antiseptics, one of the strongest culinary flavour compounds, and one of the richest sources of antioxidants in any food on earth. This is that same clove, finely ground into powder for maximum versatility. Add it to curries, chai, baked goods, and marinades. Mix with warm water for a toothache remedy. Stir into honey for a sore throat. 5.0★ rated across 13 verified reviews. 100g pack, pure and additive-free.

What’s Inside One Teaspoon of Clove
Cloves pack an extraordinary nutritional density for a spice you use by the pinch. A single teaspoon contains 30% of your daily manganese (critical for bone health and metabolism), along with meaningful amounts of vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, magnesium, and fibre. But the real power is in eugenol — the phenolic compound responsible for clove’s warm, intense aroma and nearly all of its medicinal properties. Eugenol is one of the most potent antioxidants found in any food, scoring higher on the ORAC scale (a measure of antioxidant capacity) than blueberries, dark chocolate, or any other commonly cited “superfood.” When you add clove powder to a curry, you’re not just adding flavour — you’re adding one of nature’s most concentrated packages of protective compounds.

Five Ways to Use Clove Powder
Culinary — Curries, Baked Goods & Marinades
Clove powder is one of the cornerstones of Indian cooking — present in garam masala, biryani, korma, and dozens of other dishes. Use ¼ to ½ teaspoon per dish for a warm, sweet-bitter depth that transforms curries and dals. For baking, it’s essential in gingerbread, pumpkin pie spice, and holiday baking (pairs perfectly with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom). For marinades — as multiple Moolihai customers attest — it’s outstanding on red meats, lending a complex, aromatic heat that complements beef, lamb, and game. Clove powder also adds remarkable depth to hot chocolate, mulled wine, and spiced desserts. A little goes a long way — this is an intensely flavoured spice.
Dental — Toothache & Oral Health
This is clove’s most famous medicinal use — and the reason dentists still use eugenol-based preparations in clinical practice. For toothache relief, mix a small pinch of clove powder with a drop of water or coconut oil to form a thick paste. Apply directly to the aching tooth and surrounding gum. The eugenol acts as a local anaesthetic and antiseptic — numbing the pain within minutes while killing bacteria. For general oral hygiene, add a pinch of clove powder to your toothpaste or use it as an ingredient in homemade tooth powder. As verified buyer Brantley noted: the versatility extends naturally to oral care routines.
Clove Tea — Throat & Cold Remedy
Stir ¼ to ½ teaspoon of clove powder into a cup of hot water or milk. Add honey and drink warm. For enhanced effect, combine with cinnamon and ginger — as Maverick (verified buyer) recommends for soothing throat issues. This is essentially a homemade version of the warming, throat-soothing blend found in Moolihai’s Masala Chai. Clove tea is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and warming — ideal during cold and flu season or at the first sign of a sore throat. The eugenol provides a gentle numbing effect on the throat while the antibacterial action fights the infection.
Digestive — After Meals
Clove stimulates digestive enzyme production, reducing bloating, gas, and stomach discomfort. A pinch of clove powder in warm water after a heavy meal speeds digestion and prevents the sluggish, bloated feeling. Clove has also shown potential in reducing stomach ulcers — eugenol increases the production of gastric mucus, which protects the stomach lining from acid damage. For chronic digestive issues, ¼ teaspoon of clove powder in warm water or honey twice daily can provide cumulative relief. Pairs naturally with fennel powder (Moolihai’s Fennel Powder) for a combined carminative + digestive stimulant effect.
Natural Preservative & Insect Repellent
Beyond food and medicine, clove powder has practical household uses. Its antimicrobial properties make it a natural food preservative — add a pinch to pickles, chutneys, or preserved foods to extend shelf life. Its strong aroma also repels insects — sprinkle in cupboards, pantries, or grain storage to deter moths, ants, and weevils. Mix with a carrier oil and apply to skin as a natural mosquito repellent (eugenol is a proven insect deterrent). This makes the 100g pack versatile beyond the kitchen.

Common Questions
Completely different products with different uses. Clove Powder ($14.99) is the whole dried flower bud ground into a fine powder — it’s a culinary spice you cook with, eat, and use in food. You add it to curries, baked goods, chai, and marinades. You can also take it in warm water for digestive and dental benefits. Clove Essential Oil is a highly concentrated extraction of eugenol from clove buds — it’s not food and should never be ingested directly. It’s used in aromatherapy, diluted with a carrier oil for topical pain relief, and in diffusers. Think of it this way: clove powder is the kitchen spice and gentle internal remedy; clove essential oil is the concentrated therapeutic extract for external and aromatic use. Many customers buy both — powder for cooking and daily health, essential oil for aromatherapy and targeted pain relief.
Clove powder is intensely flavoured — a little goes a very long way. For curries and dals: ¼ to ½ teaspoon per dish serving 4 people. For baking: ¼ teaspoon per cup of flour in recipes like gingerbread, fruit cake, or spiced cookies. For marinades (red meat, as several customers recommend): ½ teaspoon mixed with other spices per kilogram of meat. For chai or spiced drinks: a pinch (⅛ teaspoon) per cup. Always start with less and add more — it’s easy to add clove but impossible to remove it if you’ve overshot. The flavour is warm, sweet, slightly bitter, and intensely aromatic. It pairs best with cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and black pepper.
Yes — this is one of the most well-evidenced traditional remedies in the world. Eugenol, which makes up the majority of clove’s active compounds, is a clinically recognised local anaesthetic and antiseptic. Dentists still use eugenol-based preparations (like zinc oxide-eugenol cement) in clinical practice for temporary fillings and pain management. For home use, make a thick paste of clove powder with a drop of water or coconut oil and press it against the aching tooth and surrounding gum. The numbing effect typically begins within 2–5 minutes. This is a temporary pain relief measure — it doesn’t treat the underlying cause of the toothache. Always see a dentist for persistent dental pain.
You can — though Moolihai’s Masala Chai already contains a spice blend. Adding a small pinch (⅛ teaspoon) of extra clove powder will intensify the warm, spicy character and boost the eugenol content for additional throat-soothing and antimicrobial benefits. This is especially useful during cold season. Maverick and Genesis (verified buyers) specifically mention combining clove with cinnamon and ginger for sore throats — this is essentially the classic Indian “kadha” (spiced decoction) approach. For a DIY cold-fighting drink: Moolihai Masala Chai + extra clove powder + Ginger Infused Honey = a potent warming, antimicrobial, throat-soothing blend.
At normal culinary doses (¼ to ½ teaspoon per day), clove powder is perfectly safe for most adults. At very high doses (multiple teaspoons daily), eugenol can potentially irritate the stomach lining, interfere with blood clotting (it has mild anticoagulant properties), and affect blood sugar levels. People on blood-thinning medications (warfarin, aspirin) should be cautious with large supplemental doses. For diabetes patients, monitor blood sugar closely if taking clove regularly, as it may enhance the effect of diabetes medication. Clove is not recommended for children under 2 years. During pregnancy, culinary amounts are fine; supplemental doses should be discussed with your doctor. As a cooking spice, it has been used safely for thousands of years.
A very long time — clove powder is used in small amounts. At ¼ to ½ teaspoon per dish (the typical culinary quantity), 100g provides enough for approximately 80–160 uses. Even if you cook with it daily and use it medicinally, 100g lasts 2–4 months easily. As Gatlin (verified buyer) noted, it’s a generous quantity for the price. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark place. Ground clove retains its potency for 6–12 months when stored properly — you’ll know it’s still good when you can smell the strong, warm aroma the moment you open the container. If the aroma has faded significantly, it’s time to replace it.
*Disclaimer: This is a food-grade spice with traditional medicinal uses. Health benefits described are based on the known properties of Syzygium aromaticum and eugenol as documented in traditional medicine systems and published research. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Clove has mild blood-thinning properties — consult your doctor if you take anticoagulant medications. May affect blood sugar levels — monitor closely if you take diabetes medication. For toothache relief, clove provides temporary pain management only — see a dentist for persistent dental problems. Not recommended in supplemental doses for children under 2 or during pregnancy without medical advice. Individual results vary.
