Ground cloves - Glass shaker

Cloves are the dried, still-unopened flower buds of the clove tree. They have a strong, aromatic scent and a spicy, warm flavor. Whole cloves retain their aroma longer than ground cloves.

It's used in both savory and sweet dishes, including stews, curries, soups, cookies, and cakes, and even in hot drinks like mulled wine and chai tea. It's also sometimes used in preserving fruits and vegetables.
