INDIAN CLOVES

cloves are the aromatic flower buds of the clove tree, an evergreen (also Syzygium aromaticum). Clove is a warm, pungent spice with an intense flavor and aroma. The flavor comes from the compound eugenol. On the tongue, you’ll discover sweetness, bitterness, and a heart, with a noticeable amount of heat. Found in both whole and ground forms, this versatile seasoning can be used to season roasted pans, add flavor to hot drinks, and give a spicy warmth to cookies and cakes.
