McCormick Allspice, Ground 16oz 453g - FAQ
- Q: What is Allspice?
- A: Allspice is the dried berry of the tropical tree Pimenta dioica. It is sometimes called Pimento. The small reddish-brown berries taste like a natural blend of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and even a hint of juniper.
- Q: Is Allspice the same as a spice blend?
- A: No. Do not confuse Allspice with the French mixture called Quatre Epices (Four Spices). Allspice is a single berry with a naturally complex flavor, not a blend of ground spices.
- Q: How can I use Allspice in cooking?
- A: Allspice is versatile enough to use "from soup to nuts." It works in baked goods like cakes, cookies, and pies, savory dishes such as stews and meat rubs, pickling blends, and even beverages. Use it alone for a distinctive flavor or combine it with other warm spices.
- Q: Why is it called Allspice?
- A: The name comes from the fact that one berry captures the essence of several familiar spices at once. Early English cooks thought it tasted like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg combined, so they called it Allspice.
- Q: Where does Allspice come from historically?
- A: Allspice is native to the Caribbean and Central America, with Jamaica long considered the premier source. European traders prized it as early as the 1600s, and it became a staple in baking, pickling, and sausages. Its importance in Caribbean cooking remains strong today, especially in Jamaican jerk seasoning.
