{"product_id":"aadhimalai-clove-whole","title":"Clove, Whole","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhole cloves harvested from the Nilgiris hills and hand-packed by indigenous women working in Aadhimalai's own processing units — a detail worth noting, because the packing work stays inside the cooperative rather than being outsourced, which is where a meaningful share of the value normally leaks out of farmer-owned supply chains. Clove is one of the forest-linked spice crops Aadhimalai's 1,700 farmer-shareholders grow under an agroforestry model, meaning the trees sit within a mixed forest system rather than a cleared plantation. Single ingredient, nothing added, no oil extraction before packing — which matters, because spent cloves that have had their essential oil steam-stripped for the fragrance industry are a well-known way cheap clove enters the retail market. These should be plump and oily enough to leave a mark when pressed with a fingernail. Use whole in biryani, garam masala, or chai. We haven't seen a lab result for oil content or adulteration on this SKU.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aadhimalai","offers":[{"title":"25 gm","offer_id":49380296687875,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"50 gm","offer_id":49380296720643,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/purepicked.store\/products\/aadhimalai-clove-whole","provider":"purepicked","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
