Clove - Whole (Hand Picked)

Cloves are the dried unopened flower buds of a tropical tree native to Indonesia. While cloves must be used sparingly to avoid overpowering the dish, they are commonly used in pies, baked hams, stewed fruits, and pickle brines. Used worldwide, they are found in such far-ranging dishes as pepper-cake in Denmark and curries in India and the Middle East. Ground cloves are used in a variety of baking recipes, as well as in curries or other savory dishes.
