Cloves, a very important plant, are cultivated for animal food. Wherever cloves grow the soil becomes more fertile after a certain time.
The roots of this tiny plant have small nodules containing special bacteria which absorb nitrogen from the air and fix it in the soil. Thus, it makes the soil suitable for cultivation. Cloves can be easily distinguished from other grasses of the meadows.
Below Cloves info from Wikipedia (Read More):-
Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum, syn. Eugenia aromaticum or Eugenia caryophyllata) are the aromatic dried flower buds of a tree in the family Myrtaceae. Cloves are native to Indonesia and India and used as a spice in cuisine all over the world. The English name derives from Latin clavus 'nail' (also origin of French clou 'nail') as the buds vaguely resemble small irregular nails in shape. Cloves are harvested primarily in Indonesia, Madagascar, Zanzibar, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka; it is also grown in India under the name Lavang, called "lavanga" (లవంగ) in Telugu.
Cloves can be used in cooking either whole or in a ground form, but as they are extremely strong, 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. A major brand of kreteks in the United States is Djarum, which sells Djarum Black. Cloves are also an important incense material in Chinese and Japanese culture.
