These can be used whole or ground, and they have a very strong, pungent flavour and aroma. Whole cloves are shaped like a small, reddish brown spike, usually around one centimetre in length, with a bulbous top.

They are often paired with cinnamon or nutmeg, but in general, its a good idea to use sparingly.
