Why Clove Deserves a Spot in Your Life
Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) isn’t just for gingerbread or mulled wine. For centuries, it’s been celebrated in traditional medicine, praised for its intense aroma, and cherished in cooking. Here’s why I adore it:
Rich in antioxidants – Thanks to eugenol, clove helps your body fight oxidative stress.
Naturally anti-inflammatory – It can soothe inflammation from the inside out.
Antimicrobial power – Helps fend off unwanted bacteria.
Potential blood sugar support – Research suggests it may help your body use insulin more effectively.
The taste? Warm, spicy, and just a bit sweet — like cinnamon’s bolder cousin who isn’t afraid to take center stage.
