Allspice - Ground - 2oz

Allspice is the dried unripe berry of the Pimenta dioica tree, native to the Caribbean and Central America. Despite its name, it is a single spice — one whose aroma carries the warmth of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg simultaneously. Ground allspice is a cornerstone of Levantine and North African cooking, where it appears in everything from kibbeh and kofta to braised lamb and stuffed grape leaves. It works equally well in savory and sweet contexts, making it one of the most versatile spices in the pantry.

Flavor Profile

Warm, sweet, and complex — with notes of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a single spice. Deeply aromatic with a rounded, slightly peppery finish.

Recommended Uses

–      Essential in Levantine kibbeh, kofta, and stuffed vegetables

–      Add to braised lamb, beef, or chicken for depth and warmth

–      Use in Moroccan-style rice and grain dishes

–      Stir into tomato-based sauces and shakshuka

Cooking Tips

Use sparingly — allspice is potent. Start with a pinch in savory dishes and build from there. Pairs beautifully with cinnamon, cumin, and black pepper.
