Cloves (2.1 oz)

Dried and ground cloves are small, dark brown dried flower buds from the evergreen clove tree. They have a sweet, warming, and aromatic flavor, and are commonly used in spicy dishes. Cloves are frequently used in Indian, Chinese, Indonesian, and Mediterranean cuisine. To cook with dried and ground cloves, add them to sauces, curries, and stews. They can also be used to season vegetables, roast meats, and make marinades. Cloves can be used to make flavorful glazes or rubs for fish, pork, and poultry. When baking, cloves can be added to cakes, cookies, and pies. When using cloves in baking, it’s best to use a light hand, as the flavor can be quite strong.
