What is "clove"?

Clove is a small, aromatic spice known for its strong, pungent, and slightly sweet taste. It is characterized by its distinctive shape, with a tapered stem and a bulbous top. Originating from the dried flower buds of the evergreen tree Syzygium aromaticum, cloves are native to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia. With their warm and intense flavor, cloves are often used in both sweet and savory dishes, adding depth and richness. They are also known for their natural numbing properties and are commonly used in traditional medicine for their potential benefits.
