Cloves
Cloves are dried, brown, unopened flowers of Syzygium Aromaticum evergreen tree, native to Indonesia but today grown in many other countries. Cloves have very strong, aromatic taste and aroma, and are used whole or as ground spice.
They are most frequently added to cakes and other sweets, but in some countries they are also the ingredient of pork, ham, chicken and fish dishes (e.g. marrinated herring), curries, sauces and pilau rice.
