Ground cloves from Malwatte, packed in a flat printed sachet that holds 40g. Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree, picked before they open; ground, they give a deep reddish brown powder with a strong, warm and slightly sweet flavour.
Clove is a strong spice, so a small pinch is usually enough. Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC has exported since 1992 and processes and packs its spices in its own factories, which hold ISO 22000 certification.
In the pack
- 40g of clove powder
- Flat printed sachet with a grey and rust label
The grey label prints the name in English, Sinhala and Tamil, the words "All Natural", the net weight and a reminder to use the contents within 60 days of opening.
In the kitchen
- Add a pinch to meat curries, biryani and rice
- Mix into home made curry powder and spice blends
- Bake into fruit cakes, gingerbread and puddings
- Flavour stewed fruit and spiced drinks
Storage
Keep the sachet tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. The label asks you to use the contents within 60 days of opening; tipping them into an airtight jar after opening helps.
