DID YOU KNOW? Allspice is the dried berry of the allspice tree (Pimenta officinalis; Pimenta dioica), also known as the pimento tree, native to the West Indies and Central America. The name has nothing to do with the red sweet pepper known as pimento which is used in stuffed olives, etc. The name allspice comes from the fact that the flavor is suggestive of a combination of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. It is generally used in pickling, baking (apple pie), condiments (ketchup), chewing bum, ice cream, soft drinks, etc. The fruit and leaf oil are also used in mens toiletries - any time you see the word spice in the name, such as in Old Spice you can be sure that the fragrance comes at least in part from allspice oil. Pimento (Allspice) wood is used in Jamaica to cooked jerked meats.
