Allspice Berries
One little berry, a whole lot of flavor! Allspice brings bold, clove-like warmth with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger—all naturally packed into a single spice. These dried brown berries grow on tropical evergreen trees native to Central America and the Caribbean.
Add whole berries to soups, stews, pickling brines, and mulled drinks, or grind fresh for baking, marinades, and Jamaican-inspired jerk seasoning. Remove whole berries before serving.
