Allspice

Allspice is the dried, unripe berry of an evergreen tree in the myrtle family. It takes it's name from it's unique aroma that smells like a combination of cinnamon, cloves, ginger & nutmeg. It is a very popular spice in Jamaica & Mexico and is a key ingredient in Jamaican Jerk seasoning. It's also used in pickling spices, spiced teas and of course, spicy cakes, cookies and pies. Some Indian curries contain allspice and it's often used in the Middle East in meat and rice dishes.

In cooking you can substitute allspice measure for measure, for cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg or, to get an allspice taste, combine one part nutmeg with two parts each of cinnamon and cloves.

The health benefits of allspice are similar to the health benefits of cloves. It is a digestive aid and can be used to help expand blood vessels to make the skin feel warmer. That's one reason that it's a popular home remedy for arthritis and sore muscles.
