Cloves are the aromatic dried flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae, Syzygium aromaticum. Cloves are native to the Maluku islands in Indonesia and used as a spice in cuisines all over the world. The English name derives from Latin clavus ‘nail’ (also the origin of French clou and Spanish clavo, ‘nail’) as the buds vaguely resemble small irregular nails in shape.
