Cloves have been used for medicinal purposes and as a flavoring agent in food for hundreds of years. History Cloves are indigenous to Asian countries like Indonesia, India, and Pakistan. Scientists believe that cloves are native to the Maluku islands in Indonesia. Cloves were found in a ceramic vessel in Syria with evidence that dates the vessel back to the third century BC. Muslim traders from the Middle East first discovered cloves. The highly priced spice was traded like oil. The traders made their way to the Arab Peninsula and from there to Africa and Europe. Europeans like the Portuguese and the Dutch took turns to seize control over the spice trade in South East Asia and several wars waged over the control of the Maluku islands. The Dutch emerged victorious in the 16th century and held the Maluku islands for the next three hundred fifty years. Ingredients: Organic Cloves Ground
