Allspice Whole
Allspice is a berry of the pimento bush. It gets its name from the fact that it tastes somewhat like a peppery blend of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg.
Allspice is a common baking spice in Canada, the US and many parts of Europe, and is widely used in West Indian food. It’s an absolutely vital ingredient in jerk seasoning and is also used whole as a pickling and mulling spice.
Allspice loses its flavour very quickly when ground, so we highly recommend buying whole berries and grinding them yourself just before using.
Historically, the unripe berries and leaves of the plant were used for indigestion (dyspepsia), intestinal gas, abdominal pain, heavy menstrual periods, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, colds, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. It is also used for emptying the bowels.
Some people apply allspice whole directly to the affected area for muscle pain and toothache, or put it on the skin to kill germs. Some dentists use eugenol, a chemical contained in allspice, to kill germs on teeth and gums.
