cloves
Garlic bulb segments
Cloves are the dried flower buds of a tropical tree, used as a pungent spice in cooking and baking.
Their intense, warm flavor appears in spiced drinks, ham glazes, and pumpkin pie.
Whole cloves look like small dark nails—the name comes from the Latin word for nail.
Clove oil, extracted from the buds, has traditional uses as a dental analgesic.
A clove of garlic is an unrelated sense: one of the segments that make up a garlic bulb.
