Cloves: Health Benefits and Uses Cloves
-
The clove is the dried, still closed flower bud of the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), belonging to the myrtle family (Myrtaceae). Clove has been known in Europe since the early Middle Ages and is closely related to other spices and fruits, including the Indian bay leaf or Indonesian bay leaf (Syzygium polyanthum) and the jamboe semarang or Java apple (Syzygium samarangense, Indonesian: jambu semarang). In total about 1200 different plant species of the genus Syzygium are known. The clove itself is a flower bud that changes from green to pink before flowering. Then it must be hand picked and then dried. Cloves are used for meat, fish and fruit dishes, as well as for sauces, cakes and pastries. Cloves are also used in the cosmetics industry.
