Once used as a painkiller, clove is one of the warming spices, and pairs well with cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace. The fruit of an evergreen tree, clove is native to the Maluku Islands near Indonesia, but has been cultivated in India, the Middle East, and China. It has a purported ability to liven up your circulation, and, likewise, also perks up dishes such as baked goods and slow-cooked meats.
