Red Clove Premium

✅ What is Lal Pari Clove?

• The name comes from Hindi/Urdu: “Lal” meaning red, and “Pari” meaning fairy/angel, since these cloves have a reddish-brown hue. (amaraspices.com)

• They’re whole cloves (flower buds of the clove tree) harvested once they turn reddish‐pink, dried to a bright red color. (amaraspices.com)

• They are considered a premium variety of clove, often noted for longer length (e.g., ~13-19 mm) and high essential oil (eugenol) content. (amaraspices.com)

• Origin: While “Lal Pari” is used in India, the actual cloves may be sourced from regions such as Indonesia, Madagascar, etc. (Orika Spices)

🎯 Key Uses & Benefits

• Culinary uses: Because of their strong aroma and flavor, they’re used in spice blends, biryanis, curries, teas, and baking. Their long slender shape and colour make them stand out. (amaraspices.com)

• Health/traditional uses:

  • They contain eugenol, which has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. (amaraspices.com)

  • Often used for oral health (clove for toothache, mouth freshening) and other traditional remedies. (Dawn Lee)

• Premium gifting/spice cabinet: Because of its appearance/grade, Lal Pari can be chosen as a higher‐end spice.

🛒 How to Buy & What to Look For

When you’re purchasing Lal Pari Clove, consider:

• Whole buds: Avoid broken/mixed with inferior grade. The whole flower bud should be intact.

• Colour & size: Look for reddish-brown, fairly long and slender buds (13-19 mm was one description). (amaraspices.com)

• Aroma: Premium cloves will have a strong, rich clove aroma (high eugenol).

• Origin / sourcing: Check if the supplier mentions origin (Indonesia, Madagascar, etc) and handling (sun-roasted, hand-picked) to ensure quality. For example one vendor describes “sunkissed sun roasted Lal Pari Cloves”. (Dawn Lee)

• Packaging & storage: Because whole cloves retain flavor longer than ground. Store in a cool, dry place. Also check if any claims like “non-GMO”, “handpicked” etc.

• Cost vs quality: Premium grade will cost more. If price seems too low, inspect quality carefully.

⚠️ Things to Watch / Cautions

• Because they are potent, a little goes a long way. If used in cooking or in infusions, use sparingly.

• If used for health/traditional remedy, ensure you're aware of possible contraindications (e.g., sensitive individuals, pregnant women) and treat as a spice/traditional support rather than a substitute for medical care. One product description warns “People with medical conditions and pregnant/lactating women should follow the advice of their health consultant.” (Dawn Lee)

• Authenticity: Since “Lal Pari” is a premium label, ensure you’re getting genuine whole bud, not broken/clipped or mixed with standard grade.
