Guest guest Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 The clove is a very strong flavor. The ORAC is of the clove oil, as I recall, which was used to deaden a defective tooth years ago. I've tried varying amounts of ground and whole clove in things like coffee, but I don't think I'd ever get a significant dose, because of the very strong flavor. Thyme and oregano same thing. I did grow some basil this year and make pesto from fresh leaves, olive oil and pine nuts and romano cheese. Rosemary and thyme do not lend themselves to this type of recipe - too woody. They would need to be tinctured or something. Also many fresh herbs if used in quantity would probably upset my gut. I use the Italian type herbs in fresh tomato sauce. Unless the flavor IS the antioxidant, I don't think I get a lot of anti-ox that way. I stick with prunes.

Any recipes? What brand of cloves do you favor?I'm told they only sell them in cans and bottles, not fresh.How about Thyme and Oregano?Anybody buying these fresh and eating them in salads, or taking them in some other format? I have seen oregano oil supplements advertised.Anyone who has some experience with cloves, thyme and oregano, I would appreciate if you would share your experiences, recommendations, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
