Product details
Cloves are the air-dried, unopened, nail-shaped flower buds of the evergreen Syzygium aromaticum tree, characterized by their strong, pungent, sweet, and aromatic flavor and scent. The spice comes from harvesting the buds when they have a pronounced pink flush, before the flower fully opens. Widely used in culinary applications like gingerbread, hot beverages, and various meat dishes, cloves also possess a rich supply of antioxidants and have traditional medicinal uses, though scientific evidence for these is limited.
