Clove

What is a Clove?

Clove is an extremely aromatic crop commonly used as a spice. Trees of the clove are evergreen with crimson flowers among large leaves on a plant generally measuring 8 to 12 meters in height. Clove owes its distinct taste to the chemical eugenol with just a small amount of the spice sufficing the purpose. It is widely used in aromatherapy, in the form of oil for dentistry and to treat other problems of the spleen, diarrhea, cold and cough, etc. It is used in cigarettes to add flavor and as a natural antiseptic besides being extensively used in cooking.
