Allspice, scientifically known as Pimenta dioica, is a spice derived from the dried unripe berries of a small evergreen tree native to the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico. Also known as "Jamaica pepper" or "pimento," allspice got its name because it possesses a unique flavor profile that combines the tastes of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Cultivating allspice requires specific conditions and care to ensure a bountiful harvest of these aromatic berries.
