CG-3 Standard Quality Cloves represent a third-grade classification within clove quality standards, offering a balanced option for bulk commercial use. This grade typically contains less than 3% admixture, including headless and baby cloves. While the impurity level is considered within normal industry limits, CG-3 cloves still maintain acceptable aroma, flavor, and usability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where cost-efficiency and consistent supply are key considerations.
