Allspice Whole Spice Organic

Allspice, also known as clove pepper or Jamaica pepper, are the dried brown-grey berries of the allspice or clove pepper tree - a marvel of aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and pepper, which is why it is also known as four spice or allspice.

Allspice can also be used as a substitute for nutmeg or cloves. Allspice is suitable for pastries as well as hearty meat and potato dishes. In combination with laurel and juniper, allspice gives marinated dishes an unmistakable taste. Allspice contains essential oils, especially eugenol, which is also found in cloves. The grains or berries are dried and thus wrinkled, dark brown and similar in size to peppercorns.
