What it is
Allspice is a dried berry from the Pimenta dioica tree, native to the Caribbean and Central America. The berries are harvested when green and then dried, which causes them to turn brown. The name comes from the aroma, which is said to combine the flavors of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
Why it's used
Allspice is used as a spice to add a warm, pungent flavor to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, spice blends, marinades, and savory dishes like stews and curries. It is also used in some processed meats and sauces.
Health notes
