Cloves (Laung) Whole – Handpicked, Aromatic & High Oil Content – 100% Natural Spice for Cooking & Tea – Hygienically Packed with No Preservatives

By Sirga | Premium Quality, Humble Roots

Have you ever held a single clove bud in your palm and marveled at its intensity? Small, dark, and shaped like a tiny nail, the Clove (Laung) is a titan in the world of spices. It is the heart of a winter chai, the soul of a fragrant Biryani, and for centuries, a trusted guardian of health in Indian households.

But at Sirga, we believe a spice is never just a commodity. It is a story. It is a bridge between the earth and your home. Today, we are unraveling the secrets of Syzygium aromaticum (Cloves) and why the quality of the bud matters just as much as the recipe you use it in.

The Sirga Promise: Rooted in Shared Humanity

Before we dive into the health secrets of cloves, you must understand the hands that bring them to you.

On every pack of Sirga Cloves, there is a story. It tells of a curious young boy in a small Indian town who once cycled 20 km, hungry and without a plan. He stumbled upon a humble hut where a group of men were sharing tea and channa. Seeing the boy’s plight, a stranger quietly offered his own meal.

That single, silent gesture of kindness changed everything.

It sparked a pledge: to make premium quality—once a distant dream for many—accessible to every Indian. Sirga was born from that promise. When you open a pack of our handpicked whole buds, you aren't just smelling the warm aroma of cloves; you are experiencing a legacy of striving, sharing, and bringing the best to your table.

5 Science-Backed Benefits of Cloves (Laung)

Why should you add Sirga Cloves to your daily diet? The secret lies in Eugenol, the compound that gives cloves their distinct aroma and potent properties.

1. The Guardian of Oral Health

Grandmother’s remedy was right. Cloves are packed with antimicrobial properties that fight oral bacteria.

• The Benefit: Helps combat gum disease, reduces plaque, and offers immediate relief from toothaches.

• Sirga Tip: Chew a single Sirga whole bud after a meal for an instant, natural mouth freshener.

2. A Powerhouse of Antioxidants

Cloves have one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values of any spice.

• The Benefit: They help your body fight free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and supporting overall cellular health.

3. Digestive Aid

Feeling heavy after a rich meal? Cloves stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes.

• The Benefit: Reduces bloating, gas, and nausea. It’s the reason cloves are essential in heavy dishes like curries and biryanis.

4. Blood Sugar Regulation

Emerging studies suggest that compounds in cloves may help promote insulin production.

• The Benefit: When combined with a balanced diet, they can support healthy blood sugar management.

5. Respiratory Relief

The aromatic oil in cloves acts as a natural expectorant.

• The Benefit: Inhaling steam infused with cloves can help clear nasal passages and soothe a sore throat during flu season.

The Quality Test: How to Spot Premium Cloves

Not all cloves are created equal. Many commercially available spices have their essential oils extracted before they are sold, leaving you with a dry, flavorless husk.

How to identify the Sirga Standard:

1. The Oil Test: Press a bud between your fingernails. A premium clove will release a tiny burst of oil.

2. The Water Test: Drop a few cloves in a glass of water. High-quality cloves (dense with oil) should settle vertically or sink. Stale cloves float flat.

3. Appearance: Look for a glossy hue and a complete head. At Sirga, we ensure our buds are handpicked, ensuring you get the flower bud intact, not just the stem.

• The "Sirga" Masala Chai: Crush two Sirga cloves, a pod of cardamom, and a slice of ginger. Boil with tea leaves. The clove adds a spicy warmth that comforts the throat.

• Aromatic Rice: Add 3-4 whole buds to your boiling rice water. The result is a subtle fragrance that pairs perfectly with dals and gravies.

• Natural Home Scent: Simmer orange peels and a handful of cloves in water for a chemical-free home fragrance that smells like autumn and warmth.
