100% Laung (Clove / लौंग) Powder

GrindPound – 100% Laung Powder (Clove Powder)

GrindPound 100% Laung Powder is made by carefully drying and grinding whole clove buds — preserving the full natural potency of eugenol, eugenyl acetate, and the rich concentration of antioxidants and essential oils that make laung one of the most therapeutically powerful spices in the world, gram for gram.

Known botanically as Syzygium aromaticum, laung is the dried, unopened flower bud of a tropical evergreen tree native to Indonesia — with a deep warm-brown colour, a powerful fragrant odour that is strongly sweet, pungent, and slightly astringent. Clove is one of the richest sources of essential compounds like eugenol, tannins, eugenyl acetate, and gallic acids, which have a wide range of applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food processing, and Ayurvedic medicine. 

Known in Sanskrit as Lavanga, laung occupies a place of singular importance in both the Indian masala dabba and Ayurvedic medicine. An interesting fact about clove is that while it tastes hot, its potency is cool — making it uniquely beneficial for treating digestive tract problems without overheating the system. Pure, single-ingredient, and free from additives, fillers, or artificial fragrance — this is laung at its most honest and its most potent. 

Key Features

• Intensely aromatic — warm, sweet, pungent, and deeply spiced
• One of the highest antioxidant concentrations of any spice
• No additives, no fillers, no artificial fragrance

Health Benefits

• Eugenol — laung's primary active compound — is a natural antioxidant shown in studies to be more effective at neutralising free radicals and preventing oxidative damage than even Vitamin E, making clove one of the richest antioxidant spices available 
• Powerful natural analgesic and anaesthetic — eugenol provides immediate relief from toothache, gum pain, and bone and joint pain; it is the active ingredient in dental anaesthetics used globally and has been trusted in India for tooth pain for centuries 
• Strong antiseptic and antibacterial properties — effective against bacteria causing tooth decay, gum disease (pyorrhoea), bad breath, and oral infections; a traditional, science-backed natural mouthwash and dental care remedy 
• Stimulates digestive enzyme secretion, improving digestive function and providing relief from gastric irritability, dyspepsia, flatulence, nausea, and indigestion — roasted and powdered laung with honey is a classic Ayurvedic remedy for digestive disorders 
• Supports healthy blood sugar management — preclinical studies show clove extracts moderate blood sugar spikes, and the presence of nigericin is suggested to improve insulin secretion by pancreatic cells, beneficial for those managing diabetes

• Supports liver health and natural detoxification — small doses of eugenol help clear harmful toxins including thioacetamide from the body, improving liver function 
• Boosts immunity by increasing the production of white blood cells and improving the body's delayed-type hypersensitivity response — making it a powerful ally during seasonal infections and illness
• Potent antibacterial action effective against a range of human pathogens — clove extracts are powerful enough to act against specific bacteria that spread cholera and other gut infections 
• Supports respiratory health — warm laung decoctions are a traditional remedy for coughs, colds, congestion, sore throats, and bronchial infections in Indian households
• Clove oil is used in aromatherapy for its potent aroma and calming, grounding properties 
• Referenced in Ayurveda and Unani medicine for its aphrodisiac properties — shown in studies to have a positive effect on reproductive vigour 
• Exceptionally rich in manganese and Vitamin K — supporting strong bone density, healthy blood clotting, and nerve function
• In Ayurveda, described as Deepana (appetiser), Pachana (digestive), Krimighna (antimicrobial), and Shoolprashamana (pain-relieving)

Culinary Uses

• An essential base note in garam masala, biryani spice blends, and whole spice tadkas for dals and gravies
• Indispensable in masala chai — a single pinch deepens the warmth and gives the brew its characteristic lingering heat
• Adds depth to slow-cooked meat and vegetarian curries, pulao, and rice preparations
• Use in marinades for paneer, chicken, and lamb for a warm, complex spiced base
• Core ingredient in achaar (pickles), chutney, and homemade masalas
• Works beautifully in Indian sweets — kheer, halwa, and shahi tukda benefit from a small pinch
• Excellent in baked goods — spiced cakes, Christmas fruit cakes, and gingerbread-style cookies
• Add a pinch to warm milk at bedtime with honey for a traditional immunity and sleep-support tonic
• Use in kadha during seasonal illnesses alongside ginger, tulsi, and black pepper

Taste & Aroma Intensely warm, deeply sweet, and sharply pungent with a lingering spiced heat — GrindPound Laung Powder is one of the most aromatic and flavour-forward spices in the entire masala dabba. Even a small pinch commands the dish entirely. Its cooling potency — despite its heat on the palate — makes it a uniquely balanced spice that both stimulates and soothes in equal measure.

Daily Wellness Ritual

• Laung-Honey Remedy: Mix a pinch of laung powder with honey — a time-tested Ayurvedic relief for toothache, sore throat, cough, and indigestion
• Immunity Kadha: Simmer laung with ginger, dalchini, kali mirch, and tulsi in water for 10 minutes; strain, add honey, and sip warm — India's most trusted seasonal immunity drink
• Laung Chai: Add a pinch to your masala chai while brewing for a warming, digestion-supporting, deeply aromatic cup
• Laung Milk: Stir a pinch into warm milk with turmeric and honey at bedtime — calming, anti-inflammatory, and deeply nourishing

Usage Tip Laung is one of the most potent spices by weight — a little goes a very long way. ¼ teaspoon or less per dish is typically sufficient. For daily wellness use, a pinch (approximately 0.5 g) once or twice daily in warm beverages or with honey is safe and effective. Avoid excessive consumption. Pregnant women should consult their physician before using laung therapeutically in large quantities. Store in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and moisture — eugenol is highly volatile and the powder loses potency when exposed to air or heat. Use within 3–4 months of opening for maximum aroma and therapeutic benefit.
