Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is a spice derived from the dried flower buds of a tropical evergreen tree native to Indonesia. Known for its aromatic, warm, and slightly sweet flavor, cloves are widely used in cooking, baking, and beverages, as well as in traditional medicine. The small, nail-shaped buds are typically harvested when they turn pink and are then dried to develop their rich, pungent taste. Cloves are a key ingredient in spice blends like garam masala and are commonly used in dishes such as curries, stews, and marinades. They also provide essential oils that are valued for their antimicrobial properties and are used in dental care products, perfumes, and aromatherapy. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, clove is not only a flavorful addition to food but also a beneficial herb with a variety of health benefits.
