Cloves spices
Description
Cloves are the unopened pink flower buds of the evergreen clove tree. The buds are
picked by hand when they are pink and dried until they turn brown in color.
Cloves are about 1/2-inch long and 1/4-inch in diameter and with their tapered stem,
they resemble tiny nails. In fact, their English name is actually derived from the
Latin word clavus, which means nail.
