Clove stem

The clove stem is the part of the clove flower bud that connects the unopened flower to the plant. In botanical terms, this is the pedicel (the stalk of a single flower in a cluster). Here's a detailed description:

 Description of a Clove Stem:

* Appearance: The stem is short, cylindrical, and slightly tapering.
* Color: When dried, it is dark brown or reddish-brown, similar to the rest of the clove.
* Texture: It is hard and woody when dried, contributing to the firmness of the whole clove.
* Length: It makes up a portion of the total length of the clove bud typically around 1–1.5 cm, depending on the maturity and drying process.
* Function: In the live plant, the stem supports the clove bud and supplies it with nutrients and water.
* In dried form: The clove stem remains attached to the unopened flower bud and is an integral part of the spice known as “clove.”

Cloves are harvested before the flower opens, and the entire bud including the stem is dried and used as a spice. The stem contains essential oils, particularly eugenol, which gives clove its distinctive aroma and flavor.
