The clove is a powerful spice loaded with antioxidants, and it has the highest amount of antioxidants among other common herbs and spices. Cloves are a natural painkiller and also attack germs, so they help get rid of a sore throat and relieve upper respiratory infections. The strong, aromatic, warm clove is versatile, but sometimes it's difficult to integrate into everyday meals and snacks. Try adding cloves, together with cinnamon, to baked goods or your morning oatmeal. They're great in chai lattes and cappuccinos, mulled wine or winter stews.
