Botanical Name: Eugenia pimento
Country of Origin: Mexico
Description: Allspice Whole consists of the dried berries of Pimenta dioica, an evergreen tree native to the Caribbean and parts of Central America. These berries are harvested while still green and unripe, then dried until they become firm, brown, and aromatic. In their whole form, they retain their natural spherical shape and characteristic warm, spicy.
The production process begins with collecting the unripe berries, which are cleaned to remove natural debris. They are then dried using traditional air-drying or controlled drying methods until the moisture content is reduced to a stable level. This drying step causes the berries to develop their deep brown colour and concentrated aroma. Once dried, the berries are sorted to ensure uniformity and are kept in their whole form.
Allspice Whole is valued mainly for culinary use. It can be added to soups, stews, pickling blends, marinades, and slow-cooked dishes where whole spices are preferred for gradual flavor release. It is also used in baking and beverage preparations that incorporate warm, aromatic botanicals.
In craft applications, whole allspice berries may be included in potpourri blends, decorative spice displays, or other scent-focused projects. Their firm structure and natural appearance make them suitable for uses that rely on intact, unprocessed spice berries.
