What Are Cloves?

Cloves are one of the world’s oldest and most versatile spices. Known for their warm, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor, they’ve been used for centuries in both traditional cooking and natural medicine.

Scientifically called Syzygium aromaticum, cloves are actually the dried flower buds of the clove tree, a tropical evergreen native to Indonesia’s Maluku Islands — also known as the “Spice Islands.” Today, they are cultivated widely across India, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, and Tanzania.
