Clove is a spice made from the dried flower buds of the clove tree, native to the Spice Islands in Indonesia. It has a strong, warm flavor and is often used in cooking, baking, and even in some beverages. Cloves are rich in antioxidants and have been used in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits, including pain relief and digestive support. In addition to its culinary uses, clove oil is popular in aromatherapy and dental care due to its antiseptic properties. The unique aroma of cloves can also enhance the scent of candles and potpourri, making it a favorite during the holiday season.
