One half ounce whole Berry.100% Certified  Kosher.

Allspice (Pimenta dioica), a vibrantly named spice, lives up to its title by offering a complex flavor profile. Originally from the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico, and Central America, the allspice tree was cultivated by indigenous communities long before European arrival. The English, upon encountering this spice in the 17th century, were struck by its similarity to a combination of familiar favorites – cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg – and christened it "allspice".

Culinary uses for allspice are extensive. The warm, pungent berries, whole or ground, add depth and warmth to savory dishes like stews, soups, and braises. In the Caribbean, allspice is a staple ingredient in jerk seasoning and is used to flavor rice and beans. It also lends its complex flavor to sweet treats like pies, cakes, and even mulled cider.

Allspice holds a place in some spiritual practices as well. In hoodoo, a folk magic tradition with roots in Africa and the Americas, allspice is used for attracting money, luck, and positive energy. It is also incorporated into rituals for healing and protection.
