Cloves are the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, native to Indonesia. Known for their strong, warm, and slightly sweet flavour with a hint of bitterness, cloves are a staple in both sweet and savoury dishes worldwide. Whole cloves are often used to infuse flavour into broths, stews, mulled beverages, and baked hams, while ground cloves offer a more concentrated, easily blended option for spice mixes, baked goods, and curries. Rich in antioxidants and boasting anti-inflammatory properties, cloves are also valued for their traditional uses in dental care and digestion remedies.
