Allspice Powder is a botanical extract formulated from the berries of Pimenta dioica L, a tropical evergreen tree. The deep reddish brown powder originates from Guatemala, Jamaica, and Mexico. When ground this powder releases aromatic notes reminiscent of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. It is commonly used in ketchups, pickles, sausages, and in meat canning, but is also used in soups, stews and curries. In addition, it is used to add a warm flavor to cakes, jams, and fruit pies.
