Pimenta dioica
USDA certified organic & Kosher
Powdered—available in 1 ounce or 1/2 ounce and packaged in a plastic pouch.
A warming aromatic, allspice has both sweet and piquant flavors that are reminiscent of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Allspice is the unripe fruit of an evergreen shrub found exclusively in the western hemisphere, mostly in the Caribbean and Central America. Ground allspice berries will also make a wonderful addition to tonics, tinctures, and mulled beverages.
It stimulates the gastro-intestinal tract, so it can be used in teas to encourage the appetite or aid in digestion.
History + Folklore
Later settlers who cured meat this way became known as buccaneers, which eventually came to be the word ‘buccaneers’.
Allspice was one of the many things discovered by Spanish explorers when they landed in the West Indies. They thought it looked like black peppercorns, so they named it Jamaican Pepper or Pimento, from the Spanish word “Pimenta” which means pepper, hence the use of these words in allspice’s scientific names.
The name allspice was coined as early as 1621 by the English, who thought it combined the flavor of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
