Whole Allspice Dried Spice: 16 oz (1 lb) - Alive Herbals

Allspice - Indigenous to many Central American and Mexican cuisines, allspice ingredients originate from Jamaica. It is also known as Jamaica pepper, Pimento, or myrtle pepper. Whole Allspice berries are gotten from the evergreen plant and are used in lots of dishes to provide both a unique taste and the characteristic allspice flavor.

Contrary to what the name may imply, allspice is not the combination of many different spices. Its unique name originates from its taste and aroma which is very reminiscent of a mixture of nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. It has a really exotic taste and a rich history that dates to the early 16th century.
