Asalan Clove

Asalan Cloves refer to mixed-grade cloves that include a combination of good quality buds, broken cloves, stems, and clove pieces. This type is not hand-sorted or graded to a specific standard like Lalpari or Zanzibar grades. Asalan is commonly used in clove oil extraction, traditional medicine, fertilizer production, and low-cost spice products, especially where appearance is not the main concern.

This grade is generally sold as-is from farmers or initial collectors, making it a more affordable option in the clove market.
