Description

Originating in Indonesia, cloves are dried flower buds from the clove tree. They are a popular spice that people use in soups, stews, meats, sauces, and rice dishes. Their name comes from the Latin word clavus, which means nail since the shape of a dried clove resembles that of a nail. People have used cloves in cooking and traditional medicine for many years, but it is only recently that scientists have begun studying their potential health benefits. Cloves belong to Myrtaceous family and are native to India and Indonesia. Clove has been used as a spice in India and clove is an evergreen tree of humid tropical climates. In India, cloves can be grown in all the areas of the country except in the coastal sandy belt area. But hilly tracts of the Western Ghats and the red soils of Kerala are most and best suitable for clove cultivation.
