Cloves, dried

Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree, used as a spice in cooking. The figures here describe dried cloves. They provide fat and some protein, along with minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Per 100g, dried cloves contain 20g of fat, 6g of protein, 730mg of calcium and 260mg of magnesium.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth, while magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve function. Cloves are generally used in small amounts, so their contribution to nutrient intake is much lower than the amounts shown per 100g. They also contain saturated fat and salt, which may be relevant when considering overall dietary intake. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
