Description
Jamaican allspice is
considered the best grade for culinary use.
Also known as Jamaica pepper, Myrtle pepper, and newspice. Its name
comes from its smell, which is reminiscent of a combination of clove, cinnamon,
ginger, and nutmeg. Jamaican allspice produces a smaller-sized berry than
Central American allspice, similar in size to large peppercorns. It is suitable
for mulling blends, pickling mixes, potpourri, and crafts (such as pomanders).
