Combining cloves with an onion may seem strange, but this trick has its roots in ancestral practices in France. Let’s discover these multiple benefits…
1.A Natural Insect Repellent
The combination of cloves and onion acts as a powerful repellent against certain insects and pests. Cloves, rich in eugenol, give off an intense odor that disrupts the olfactory system of flies, mosquitoes and moths. When planted in an onion, the combined odor becomes even more unpleasant for these pests, making it a natural alternative to chemicals.
Handy tip: Place an onion studded with cloves in areas prone to infestations, such as the kitchen or pantry. This helps protect food without resorting to toxic sprays.
2.Improving Onion Storage
Onions, especially in wet weather, are prone to mold or rot. The antimicrobial and antifungal properties of cloves help slow the growth of mold. Sticking a few cloves into an onion extends its shelf life by creating a natural barrier against bacteria.
