Whole cloves are the dried unopened bud of an evergreen tree in the Myrtle family. Cloves are brown and resemble a nail with a large rounded head. In fact, the word is derived from the French clou, meaning "nail". Its rich, spicy sharpness compliments dessert dishes like spice cakes, pumpkin pie and fruit salads. When using whole cloves, a little bit goes a long way as the flavor is very pronounced. One small clove is also a very efficient natural breath mint!
Store cloves in a cool, dry place, away from heat and light for best flavor retention. Whole cloves do retain flavor for a longer period of time than ground cloves.
