In many cultures, culinary traditions are more than just recipes—they carry centuries of wisdom about health and flavor. One such practice, often passed down from generation to generation, involves sticking cloves into an onion. While it may look like an unusual combination at first glance, this simple trick has a multitude of uses, both in the kitchen and for health purposes.
What Are Cloves and Onions?
Cloves are aromatic flower buds from the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum). Known for their pungent flavor and strong medicinal properties, they are widely used in cooking, traditional medicine, and even home remedies.
Onions (Allium cepa) are a kitchen staple, famous for their rich flavor, natural sweetness, and numerous health benefits. Packed with antioxidants, sulfur compounds, and vitamins, onions are a powerhouse of nutrition.
When combined, cloves and onions create a synergy that enhances both flavor and health benefits.
