Cloves

They need a warm, peppery heat that we tend to hunt come in cold weather more often than in weather condition, a minimum of in my neck of the woods. Cloves are literally flower buds from a tree that’s native to Indonesia. The buds are cut and dried until they’re very hard. The dried cloves can then be used whole or ground into a powder. Cloves are often wont to infuse flavor into soups, curries and marinades, and also are commonly used as a baking spice. The spice is used year-round in most parts of the globe and may be a staple during a wide range of common spice blends.

Cloves are a really aromatic spice. Whole cloves are often ground using a spice grinder or maybe using a microplane, though the small size of the buds means you’ll got to take care with your fingertips if you decide to hand-grind your spice.
