Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) are the dried flower buds of the clove tree, and pound-for-pound, they are one of the most chemically dense spices in the world.
They possess the highest ORAC value (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) of almost any botanical, meaning their ability to neutralize oxidative stress is nearly unparalleled.
The primary driver behind the potency of cloves is a compound called eugenol.
