PIMENTO aka ALLSPICE!!!🙌🏽🇯🇲
So we put a lil quiz out recently about naming that spice! We threw a couple of trick answers into the mix just to SPICE things up a little bit 😜 but the answer was of course : Pimento & I thought i’d share some information about it 🤓
Not to be confused with mixed spice, allspice/pimento is not a mix of spices. Rather, it is a berry from the evergreen Pimenta dioica tree.
It’s taste is like a blend of warming nutmeg, clove, pepper and cinnamon but, with a bit of depth!
Loved all over the Caribbean but probably more famously known for being the key ingredient to Jamaican jerk chicken or pork, pimento is also added ground or whole to many other Caribbean dishes and seasonings and it actually feautures in every single one of Myristica’s Spice Blends!
Use pimento to jazz up your winter soups and stews or head to our site to see what recipes you could be creating at home!💫🌟✨
