Clove, scientifically known as Syzygium aromaticum, is a highly aromatic spice derived from the unopened flower buds of the clove tree. With a warm, sweet, and pungent flavor, cloves are widely used in culinary dishes, especially in Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines. Apart from its culinary applications, cloves are valued for their medicinal properties, often used to alleviate toothaches and sore throats due to their natural analgesic and antiseptic qualities. Clove essential oil, extracted from the buds, is used in aromatherapy and natural remedies.
