What is Clove Buds? Clove, tropical evergreen tree of the family Myrtaceae and its small reddish brown flower buds used as a spice. Cloves were important in the earliest spice trade and are believed to be indigenous to the Moluccas, or Spice Islands, of Indonesia. In Europe and the United States the spice is a characteristic flavoring in Christmas holiday fare, such as wassail and mincemeat. The clove tree is an evergreen that grows to about 8 to 12 meters (25 to 40 feet) in height. Its gland-dotted leaves are small, simple, and opposite. The buds are hand-picked in late summer and again in winter and are then sun-dried. Cloves vary in length from about 13 to 19 mm. The aromatic flower buds of the plant are known as cloves and are commonly used as a spice. Cloves are commercially harvested in Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, as well as in African countries, such as Comoro Islands, Madagascar, Seychelles, and Tanzania. Read more Taste & Aroma: This intensely aromatic spice has a subtly sweet flavor that lends plenty of warmth to any dish. Pairing well with other rich, slightly sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice, cloves also have a slight note of bitterness and astringency that counterbalances the sweetness. Given their notably strong taste and aroma, cloves are used sparingly in most dishes.
