plant overview
cloves in cooking, crafts, and tinctures
Clove is a spice that comes from an evergreen tree in the myrtle family
that is commercially cultivated in Indonesia, Madagascar, Pakistan and
Zanzibar. The clove, which resembles a nail with a head, is the dried
calyx of the undeveloped flower with the embryo seed attached. They are
not hand-picked as many other spices are, but are beaten or shaken from
the tree. Whole cloves are used in cooking, potpourri and other crafts
and to make tinctures. The ground spice is primarily used in baking. It
can also be combined with arrowroot for use as a natural blusher or
foundation.
