Description

Allspice comes from the fragrant dried berries of the Pimenta dioica tree, which is native to Central America and the Caribbean islands. The name refers to its complex flavor that evokes a blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Today allspice is used in cooking across the globe. The versatile powder complements both sweet and savory recipes. Use allspice to add warmth, complexity, and rich aroma to stews, curries, barbecue rubs, baked goods like pumpkin pie and gingerbread, mulled wine, herbal teas, and much more. A little allspice can provide a big flavor.
