Nagercoil ("Temple of the Nāgas", Nagaraja Temple)
'Nagercoil Cloves’ is a distinct quality of dried cloves in the spices market, noted for its aroma. Cloves, pepper and other spices are grown in estates in the Western Ghats, outside the town.
Cloves are
renowned for providing their uniquely warm, sweet and aromatic taste to
the wide range of dishes that they are used in. Cloves can easily
overpower a dish, particularly when ground, so only a few need be used.
Product Description
Cloves are
best bought whole as flavour quickly deteriorates when powdered. The
word ‘clove’ is from the Latin word for ‘nail’ – clavus which they
resemble in appearance. Cloves are often used to enhance the flavour of
meats, curries, and meat marinades. They are used whole in several
curries and also fried with other whole spices like peppercorns,
cardamom and cinnamon as a garnish in biriyani and pulao. In India they
make an appearance in many sweets, notably the boondi ladoo.
Cloves are an excellent source of manganese. They are also a very good source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin K, dietary fiber, and vitamin C. They are also a good source of magnesium and calcium. The oil in cloves has a numbing effect on mouth tissues and is often used to provide relief from toothaches.
