Clove

Clove is a spice derived from the dried flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, native to Indonesia. It has a strong, aromatic flavor with a warm, slightly sweet, and spicy taste. In addition to culinary uses, clove contains compounds like eugenol, which have natural antiseptic and pain-relieving properties. Commonly used in baking, marinade flavoring, and traditional medicine, clove can also help freshen breath or relieve minor mouth discomfort. Its versatile aroma and medicinal benefits make it a popular ingredient across cuisines and health practices worldwide.
