Badia Ground Cloves Spice, 16 oz

Ground cloves deliver the warm, penetrating sweetness that defines Indian garam masala and Caribbean jerk seasoning. A small measure carries enormous depth, which is why this bulk 16 oz size is built for kitchens that bake, brine, and braise on repeat.

Common Uses

Stir into garam masala, biryani rice, and chai concentrate. Pound into Jamaican jerk paste alongside allspice and Scotch bonnet. Add to ham glazes, pumpkin pie, gingerbread, mulled wine, and spiced rum cakes. A pinch lifts black beans, mole, and slow-cooked beef stews.

Cuisine Context

Cloves are non-negotiable in North Indian masalas and Mughlai biryanis, central to Caribbean jerk and sorrel drink, and indispensable in European holiday baking from pfeffernüsse to fruitcake. When a dish needs that unmistakable cozy warmth, cloves are doing the work.

Pro Tip

Bloom ground cloves in hot ghee or oil for 10 seconds before adding aromatics — it tames the sharp edge and releases the rounded, almost sweet notes that make a curry taste finished rather than raw.
