clove

clove
Noun
pl: cloves

This term describes a specific unit of measurement for two distinct aromatic ingredients. When referring to the spice, it identifies the individual dried flower bud, characterized by its intense, warm, and slightly numbing flavor profile. In culinary contexts, it is often used whole in studding hams or ground into powders.

When applied to garlic, the word denotes a single natural segment of the larger bulb. Because garlic is structured as a cluster of these segments, the term serves as a necessary partitive to specify quantity, distinguishing a single piece from the entire head of garlic.
