Kerala Organic Cloves by Organics & You - whole oil-rich Western Ghats Laung, available online USA

Kerala Cloves (also called Laung, Lavang, Krambu, or simply whole cloves) are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, grown in the Western Ghats of Kerala. Each clove is a tiny nail-shaped bud, dark brown, intensely fragrant, and bursting with eugenol — the essential oil that gives cloves their warm, sharp, slightly sweet aroma. Desify ships Organics & You Kerala Organic Cloves direct to USA, UK, Canada, and Australia in 3-5 days with pre-paid customs (CSB-5). NRIs use cloves for biryani, garam masala, chai, kheer, dal tadka, and tooth-pain home remedies. Buy Kerala Cloves online USA from $9.99.

What are Kerala Cloves?

Cloves (Laung, Lavang, Krambu, Lavangam) are the unopened flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum evergreen tree. They are hand-picked from the tree before the buds bloom, then sun-dried until they turn dark brown and develop their characteristic nail shape. The word "clove" actually comes from the Latin clavus, meaning nail.

Kerala cloves are dense, oil-rich, and aromatic. A high-quality clove should still feel slightly oily when squeezed and should float upright in water (a quick freshness test — stale cloves float horizontally because they have lost essential oil).

Why Kerala origin matters

Cloves originated in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia, but they grow exceptionally well in the Western Ghats of Kerala — specifically in Idukki, Wayanad, and parts of the Cardamom Hills. The 2,500-5,000 foot elevation, high humidity, and lateritic soil produce buds with 15-20% essential oil content (eugenol-dominant), among the highest in the world.

Most cloves on US grocery shelves are commodity-grade from Indonesia or Madagascar, often dried mechanically with reduced oil. Organics & You sources directly from Kerala growers in the Western Ghats, sun-dries slowly, and ships whole and sealed.

How NRIs use Kerala Cloves in USA kitchens

Hyderabadi Biryani — 6-8 whole cloves in the marinade plus more layered in the rice.
Masala Chai — 2-3 cloves per pot with cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger.
Garam Masala — dry-roast 1 tbsp with cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaf for homemade blend.
Dal Tadka — 2-3 cloves with cumin and asafoetida in the final tempering.
Mughlai Korma and Shahi Paneer — 4-5 cloves bloomed in ghee for the gravy base.
Kheer and Payasam — 2 cloves simmered in milk with cardamom.
Tooth-pain home remedy — placing a whole clove near a sore tooth (the eugenol acts as a mild anaesthetic).
