Slofoodgroup Whole Allspice Pimento Berries, 16 oz

Also known as Jamaican Pepper, Slofoodgroup Whole Allspice comes directly from central American Guatemala. Guatemala, is home to lush rain forests, volcanoes, and mountainous countryside that grows amazing ingredients like allspices, green cardamom pods, coffee, or dried black limes. The easiest way to use allspice is to simply toss it whole into a liquid. This could be a pickling that uses other ingredients like star anise, clove, juniper berries, bay leaf, cinnamon, ginger etc. The next way is to grind your allspice fresh and use in rubs, flavored salts, marinades and even baked goods. Using allspice is really quite easy and the best part is it can be used in unison with other ingredients or by itself in place of others spices. Allspice can often be substituted in place of similar ingredients if you do not have them handy. Next time try using allspice in place of clove or even nutmeg. You may just like what you get even better than the original recipe! This versatile spice is a must-have in any kitchen, adding depth and complexity to your favorite recipes. Use it to season meats, stews, soups, marinades, and baked goods, or experiment with crafting your own homemade pickling blends and mulled drinks.
