As a general rule you would use one half as much of a ground spice in a dish as opposed to the whole spice. But take care even the reduced amount of a ground spice may color your food a whole lot more than the whole spice would. I have turned gravy green with to much ground rosemary.
Whole cloves are much stronger than ground. Depending on how strong you want the flavor start with substituting 3 whole cloves with 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. If you find this to be too strong - or not strong enough - adjust the amounts.
If one teaspoon of whole cloves is approximately equivalent to 0.75 teaspoons of ground cloves, then 0.50 teaspoons of whole cloves is equivalent to 0.375 teaspoons of ground cloves. If you do not have ground cloves, then a substitute to use is ground allspice.
ground cloves in a spice bottle can be whole ground cloves or they can be only part of a ground clove
4 cloves
I have done this before, and found that whole cloves vary in size. Some cloves can be twice the size of their companions; so, this is not easy to answer. Does your recipe require that you grind the cloves? If so, then you should grind enough to occupy 2 teaspoons. I realize fresh spices are a good practice to follow, but cloves are a strong spice; and, I have found that my guests generally can't distinguish cloves from an unopened bottle of ground cloves versus the fresh-ground originals.
Yes. Cloves are used as a spice, and are not made with wheat.
In a cool, dark, airtight glass container ground cloves typically last for around 6 months. But if you want longer lasting cloves than i would go for whole cloves. They last for about a year. Hope i helped!

Nutmeg, when taken in excess, is hallucinogenic. Be careful though, more than 3 cloves causes system failure, and even death.
1 clove = 1/2 tsp, so 3 cloves = 1 1/2 tsp
