Terre Exotique Allspice Berry Whole 50g

Named after its astonishing ability of releasing flavours of pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves - all together at the same time. Once ground, use it in stocks and sauces or add it to your flour when making all home-made cakes and bread.

Allspice berries are the dried fruit of the Pimenta dioica, a tree which can grow as tall as 30 metres high. This tree is originally from Mexico and the islands of Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica. Over the centuries, allspice berries were introduced and grown in Barbados, Honduras, Guatemala and Brazil. The Aztec were the first to use allspice berries as seasoning (to flavour chocolate) and for embalming.
