丁香
“丁香” (Dīngxiāng), known as clove in English, is a spice derived from the flower buds of the tree Syzygium aromaticum. These buds are harvested and dried, resulting in a strong, aromatic spice commonly used in cooking and baking. Cloves are popular in various cuisines around the world, especially in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes.
In addition to its culinary uses, “丁香” has medicinal properties. It contains compounds that may help with digestion and oral health. Clove oil, extracted from the buds, is often used in dental care for its analgesic and antiseptic qualities, making it a valuable ingredient in natural remedies.
