I'm not a huge fan of cloves in large quantities, but I love the health benefits they provide. a wide range of applications The clove buds in this picture are genuine clove buds. It only takes about 12 buds to make a full batch of these buds. soaked in about 8 oz. water to make a strong mouth rinse These pals didn't show up to have a good time. br>br>Not only can I use a small amount to make a mouth rinse, but I can also add one clove to my nightly tea to add flavor. I'll have everything I need to make my own chai tea once I get some anise seeds. I also like to carry a couple of buds in my purse in a package. They're perfect for tucking into my cheek as an after-dinner treat. breath freshener after a meal Don't even get me started on the benefits of cloves in the treatment of toothaches. br>br>It has a distinct flavor. The sensation of being completely fresh is incredible. Because the "use by" date is so far away, these must have been packaged fairly recently. I'll be back for more when I need them because the price is right.
I was ecstatic with the quantity of cloves for the price, and when they arrived in the mail, I was even more pleased with my purchase because the cloves were enormous! They were plump, large, and sturdy, making them ideal for pomander balls. I've always had anemic cloves with crushed heads in the past. I made a dozen decorations and still have half of the bag. These cloves have a strong and fresh scent, unlike the ones I've gotten in the past that were completely scentless; they're fantastic cloves!.
The good: The cloves are whole and appear to be in good condition. The packaging is very nice. The disadvantages: br>br> They're dry (but not brittle), their volatile oils have mostly evaporated, and the flavor is mild - You can eat a couple of them without feeling too full.
To store my winter woolens, I use whole cloves. Cloves repel moths better than lavender, according to my research, and based on the results of packing (clean) woolens away with pouches of whole cloves last spring, this method appears to be very effective. I stuff clean woolens into jumbo Ziploc storage bags (the good ones), add two clove pouches, lie down in the bag to press air out, zip it shut, and stack in the back of my coat closet. All good!.
This purchase has caused me a lot of grief. I made a tea with it and it was fine, but the bag ripped open past the sealing point the same day I opened it, so I had to repackage my cloves, which isn't a big deal, but I just so happened to look inside one of the zip lock bags, and one of the cloves looks like it has bird poop on it, which makes me very upset because I wanted to use this tea internally, but I'm not sure if it's safe to continue doing so There is a need for more stringent quality control. 😡.
Look for something else to do. These garlic cloves are old and dried. The aroma and flavor aren't particularly strong. The ball was missing from many of the cloves. br>br> Only the dry, brittle empty stem is commonly found. There isn't much oil in it. What an embarrassment! br>br>I should've known better. They don't exist. it is possible to return it When something isn't working out, it's usually because it's not working out. If something is returnable, you can be confident that the manufacturer or distributor is aware of the issues.
For Christmas, we used them to make pomanders. They smelled wonderful, held up well when pressed into the oranges, and were the perfect price for something we needed in bulk for a craft. We had plenty of food left over for the following year.
I am pleased with my purchase. When you weigh the cost versus the size, it's clear that it's a good deal. Very aromatic and invigorating.
