Cloves

Cloves are used in the cuisine of Asian, African, Mediterranean, and the Near and Middle East countries, lending flavour to meats (such as baked ham), curries, and marinades, as well as fruit (such as apples, pears, and rhubarb). Cloves may be used to give aromatic and flavour qualities to hot beverages, often combined with other ingredients such as lemon and sugar. They are a common element in spice blends.

Assorted spices in scoops and bowls on a dark surface, including turmeric, red chili powder, cumin, and salt.
