Procurement Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Zanzibar Cloves
Key commercial and quality details for spice extractors and wholesale distributors.
What is the difference between Handpicked Selected (HPS) and FAQ cloves?+
HPS (Hand Picked Selected) undergoes manual triage to ensure intact flower heads, rich color, zero foreign matter, and minimal headless cloves (<2%), making it ideal for whole spice packaging. FAQ (Fair Average Quality) is optimized for industrial grinding, spice blends, and oleoresin extraction.
What is the typical essential oil yield of Zanzibar cloves?+
Zanzibar cloves consistently test at 17% to 19.5% volatile oil content, with over 80% eugenol concentration, significantly outperforming Madagascar and Comoros origins.
