Spice wars have been fought; enemies have been made- just to possess this glorious spice called “clove”. One of the few spices to come under the flower category, cloves are native to the Molucca Islands – now a part of Indonesia. Legend has it that every time a child was born in Molucca, a clove tree would be planted. It was believed that the fate of the tree was linked to the fate of the child. There are other narratives which tell us that the Chinese used to pop a few cloves, to sweeten their breathe, prior to making an appearance before the Emperor. Though frail and delicate in appearance, cloves have a strong, pungent and sweet taste. Cloves are essentially the rich, brown, dried, unopened flower buds that belong to the syzygium aromaticum, an evergreen tree in the myrtle family. The name clove comes from the French clou and the Latin word clavus meaning nail, for the simple reason these buds resemble small irregular nails.
Uses
Tiny though it maybe, the clove has many curative properties. It helps in preventing damage to the body cells, its anti-inflammatory property helps fight infections, it plays a role in controlling diabetes and cardiac issues, and just chewing on a couple of cloves keeps our digestive system in good shape. As a great energizer it provides an overall boost to our health. However, it has to be used sparingly in a dish. In their ground form, they can easily overwhelm a dish. Ground cloves bring a warm and distinctive flavor to desserts, curries and chutneys. Clove tea, prepared by simmering a few cloves in boiling water, has a number of health benefits. The paan masala industry too uses cloves extensively. The oil extracted from cloves – eugenol, is said to contain great medicinal properties. Manufacturers use cloves liberally in their toothpastes, soaps, cosmetics, perfumes and there are even cigarettes called kreteks which contain about 20 to 40 percent ground clove.
