Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is a small evergreen tree from the Myrtaceae family, native to the Maluku Islands (Spice Islands) of Indonesia and now cultivated throughout tropical regions, including Madagascar, Zanzibar, and Sri Lanka. The dried flower buds — known as whole cloves — are harvested before the flowers open and are recognizable by their distinctive nail-like shape and intensely warm, spicy, aromatic character. Clove is one of the most widely traded culinary spices in the world, with a long history in Southeast Asian, Indian, African, and European cooking. Certified Organic and Kosher.
