Scientific name: syzygium aromaticum

Cloves are the dried flower of a large evergreen tree native to Indonesia and India. They are used whole or ground up in baking, for making cakes, puddings and a lot of Mexican and Indian food. Cloves are very strong, and you don't need much of them to flavour food.
Clove oil can be used to stop sore teeth from hurting.
