A dried flower that comes from a type of myrtle tree native to the Maluku Islands (also known as Spice Islands of Indonesia).
For many years cloves have been used as a preservative and in fact, at one time, it was more common to use it to keep meat from spoiling than to use it as a spice and flavoring agent as we do today.
The warm flavor and aromatic characteristics of clove comes from eugenol, an antioxidant with antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory qualities that has been incorporated into the pharmaceutical industry, most notably dentistry (I can't count how many times my mom told me to rub clove oil on my gums when I had a toothache).
Clove is also used as an ingredient in soaps, ointments, and other cosmetics.
It is wonderful in teas, recipes, crafts and potpourris.
