CLOVES



Clove is used as a spice in cuisines all over the world.

It can be used in cooking either whole or in a ground form, but as they are extremely strong, they are used sparingly.

Cloves have historically been used in Indian Cuisine(both North Indian & South Indian).

In North Indian cuisine, it is used in almost all rich or spicy dishes as an ingredient of a mix named garam masala,along with other spices, although it is not an everyday ingredient for home cuisine, nor is it used in summer very often.

In south Indian cuisine, it is used extensively in biriyani along with "cloves dish" (similar to pilaf,but with the addition of other spices), and it is normally added whole to enhance the presentation and flavor of the rice.

Western studies have supported the use of cloves and clove oil for dental pain
