'''Plant name: Syzygium aromaticum / Eugenia caryophyllata'''

'''Indian name: Laung'''

Cloves can be used in cooking either whole or in a ground form, but as they have an extremely strong flavour, they are used sparingly. The spice is used throughout Europe and Asia and is smoked in a type of cigarettes locally known as kretek in Indonesia. Cloves are also an important incense material in Chinese and Japanese culture.

Cloves have historically been used in [[:Category:Chinese recipes|Chinese cuisine]], [[:Category:Indian recipes|Indian cuisine]] as well as in Mexican cuisine, where it is often paired together with [[cumin]] and canela ([[cinnamon]]). In the north Indian cuisine, it is used in almost every sauce or side dish made, mostly ground up along with other [[:Category:Spices|spices]]. They are also a key ingredient in tea along with [[green cardamoms]]. In south Indian cuisine, it finds extensive use in the dish known as [[chicken biriani|biryani]] (similar to the [[pilaf]], but with the addition of local spice taste), and is normally added whole to enhance the presentation and flavour of the [[rice]].
