Clove Antioxidants: The Highest ORAC Value in Nature

When we measure antioxidant capacity using the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale, cloves sit at the very top—outperforming even acai berries and blueberries by a massive margin. This is due to the concentrated presence of Eugenol.

Cellular Protection

Eugenol acts as a scavenger of free radicals, traditionally valued for supporting cellular membranes against oxidative stress. Our heritage cloves, sourced from the mineral-rich hills of Meghalaya, are harvested before the flowers bloom to preserve the integrity of the volatile oils.
