Product Description:
Cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of the evergreen clove tree, Syzygium aromaticum. They are characterized by their nail-like shape, reddish-brown color, and strong, pungent aroma and flavor. Cloves are harvested before the buds fully open and then dried, becoming hard and brittle. They are a popular spice used in both sweet and savory dishes, as well as in traditional medicine.
