Ground cloves are made from the dried flower buds of the tropical evergreen clove tree. Bold, warm, sweet, and intensely aromatic, cloves have been treasured around the world for centuries. Their name comes from the Latin word clavus, meaning “nail,” a reference to the distinctive shape of whole cloves.
Ground cloves are especially convenient for baking and spice blends, adding deep warmth to cookies, cakes, pies, pumpkin dishes, mulled drinks, and savory recipes. A little goes a long way!
