Are these cloves whole buds or ground?

They are whole, dried clove buds, not powder. You get the full bud, which you can grind yourself or remove before serving.

How should I store them?

Keep them in the resealable bag or a tight jar away from light and heat. Whole cloves keep their aroma for about a year, longer than ground.

Are they gluten-free and non-GMO?

Yes. The cloves are labeled gluten-free and Non-GMO Project Verified, and cloves are naturally gluten-free.

Where do the cloves come from?

The brand lists Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Madagascar as origins, so the source can vary by batch.

How many cloves are in 4 ounces?

Cloves are light, so 4 ounces is a large number of buds, roughly several hundred. It suits regular bakers and cooks.

Can I use them in place of ground cloves?

Yes, but adjust: whole buds are milder by volume, so use a few buds where a recipe calls for a pinch of ground, and remove them before serving.

Our take on the NPG Premium Whole Cloves Buds 4 Ounces

NPG Premium Whole Cloves Buds are dried, hand-selected clove buds packed in a resealable bag, sold as a 4-ounce supply. They are Non-GMO Project Verified and gluten-free, and the whole buds keep their aroma longer than ground cloves. Buyers use them for spice cookies, cakes, mulled drinks, rice and braised dishes across Middle Eastern, African, Asian and Mexican cooking. The main trade-off is consistency: whole cloves are easy to inspect, but a 3.1-star average from 287 ratings suggests buyers have had uneven experiences with bud quality and freshness.
