Ground Allspice is a peppery mix of flavours, reminiscent of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Popular in the Caribbean, Allspice is also an essential spice within Arabic Cuisine for dishes such as Kibbeh, sweet baked goods and the famous Shawarma. Try adding to gingerbread, carrot cake and Christmas pudding or pair with root vegetables such as squash and sweet potato.

Culinary Uses

Allspice has a powerful flavour and fragrance, a few berries is all it takes to infuse a dish with its warm, spicy flavour and once ground, a light sprinkling will suffice. It compliments a variety of foods, and is commonly used in both sweet and savoury dishes.

Health Benefits

Rich in aromatic compounds, allspice contains cineole, eugenol, alpha pinene, alpha terpene, limonene, and many more agents which collectively possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cancer-fighting, sedative, antiseptic, antiviral and antifungal properties.

How to Store

Keep your allspice fresh and ready to use by storing it in an airtight jar or another container away from direct sunlight. There’s no need to freeze or refrigerate it. Allspice will last for years whether whole or ground, although ground spices lose their flavor quickly.
