Clove (Laung) FAQs

Common questions about sourcing, quality, and importing Indian Cloves (Laung).

High-quality cloves must have a high Eugenol content (minimum 15%), a rich reddish-brown color, and be "headed" (stigmas intact). Our cloves are sun-dried to maintain a moisture level below 12%, ensuring a long shelf life and potent aroma.
We source our cloves primarily from the hilly regions of Tamil Nadu (Kanyakumari/Nagercoil) and Kerala. These regions produce cloves that are bolder and heavier compared to varieties from Madagascar or Comoros.
We export Whole Cloves, Clove Stems (for oil extraction), and Clove Powder. Beyond culinary use in spice blends, they are critical in the dental industry (due to eugenol's analgesic properties) and the pharmaceutical sector.
Our standard MOQ for cloves is 200kg. We offer bulk packaging in 25kg/50kg PP or Jute bags. Private labeling in retail glass jars or stand-up pouches is also available for international retail brands.
