Allspice Berry

Allspice, also known as Jamaica pepper, myrtle pepper, pimenta, or pimento, is the dried unripe berry of Pimenta dioica, a midcanopy tree native to the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico, and Central America, now cultivated in many warm parts of the world. Often mistaken for a blend of spices, allspice is a single-ingredient seasoning that packs a wonderful, spicy, punch.
