Description
Aromatic Clove Spice
Cloves are the dried flower buds of the clove tree, native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. Highly valued as a spice, cloves are used whole or ground in both sweet and savory dishes. Their intense flavor comes from the compound eugenol, which also contributes to its medicinal properties.
Beyond cooking, cloves have been traditionally used for their analgesic and antiseptic qualities. They are a common ingredient in dental products and herbal remedies. Their warm, spicy fragrance also makes them a popular addition to potpourris and aromatherapy blends.
