Allspice comes from an evergreen shrub native to the Caribbean, southern Mexico, and parts of Central America. The small plants are sensitive to frost but harden with age and grow to the size of large canopy trees. The spice itself is actually the unripe fruit of the plant. After harvest, the berries are dried to form the small brown berries we know as the spice. It gets its name from its complex flavor, which is said to resemble the combined taste of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
The Spanish discovered allspice growing in the Caribbean during Columbus's first voyages to the Americas. They introduced the spice to Europe in the 1600s. Despite its popularity, cultivation outside its native region is rare and often unsuccessful. Allspice thrives in warm climates and is grown almost entirely in the Western Hemisphere. Due to its limited range, it is not well known in many parts of the world.
The dried, unripe berries of allspice are often used in combination with cardamom, cinnamon, and or green tea. Allspice is a popular ingredient in Caribbean cuisine, renowned for its sweet, spicy scent and pungent aroma. It is a classic ingredient in pickles and jerky rubs and is often included in hot mulled cider during the cold winter months.
