In traditional folk medicine and Ayurveda, whole cloves are often simmered to create a warming tea or chewed to soothe the throat and support oral health during the colder months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Care:\u003c\/b\u003e To maintain the \"sting\" and fragrance of the spice, store in a cool, dry, and airtight container. Keep the cloves away from humidity and direct sunlight; if the buds absorb moisture or are exposed to light, they can lose their essential oils and their ability to infuse dishes with their characteristic sharp, sweet heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Top Op","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56837100470620,"sku":null,"price":5.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/2183\/6124\/files\/top-op-cloves-laving-200g-whole-spices-387.webp?v=1788179716","url":"https:\/\/gopalgrocers.co.uk\/products\/top-op-cloves-laving-200g","provider":"Gopal Indian Grocers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
