allspice [whole]

Called allspice because when ground, the spice berries taste like a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon, black pepper, and cloves, but allspice is the dried berry of the Pimento (Pimenta dioica), a tropical evergreen tree. Allspice is used to season both savory dishes such as seafoods and stews as well as sweet desserts, and mulled wine & ciders. .  Allspice will retain its  freshness when stored in an airtight jar away from direct sunlight. Allspice will last for years whether whole or ground, although ground spices lose their flavor quickly. 1.33 oz | 37g
