Cloves are the unopened flower buds of the evergreen clove tree. The buds are picked by hand when they are pink and dried until they turn brown in color. Cloves are about 1/2-inch long and 1/4-inch in diameter and with their tapered stem, they resemble tiny nails. Although cloves have a very hard exterior, their flesh features an oily compound that is essential to their nutritional and flavor profile. Cloves are used in the cuisine of Asian, African, and the Near and Middle East, lending flavor to meats, curries, and marinades, as well as complement to fruit such as apples, pears, or rhubarb.
Clove contains a variety of flavonoids, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory properties. It is an excellent source of manganese, dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin A, known amounts of vitamin K and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as calcium and magnesium.
