History
Cloves are the dried flower buds of Syzygium aromaticum. Kew identifies the Maluku Islands as the species' native range and describes cloves as one of the earliest major traded spices. Because of their intensity, any claim about a 'classic amount' in shawarma seasoning should be recipe-specific rather than universal.
