Mainly grown in Jamaica — it's also known as Jamaica pepper — allspice has a pleasantly fragrant aroma. Its name reflects the strong and complex taste, which resembles a peppery compound of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg or mace. Allspice gives a gentle, warm flavor to cakes, jams, and fruit pies. The food industry uses it in such items as ketchups, pickles and sausages, and in meat canning. In Jamaica the spice is widely used in soups, stews and curries.

FAQ
How old are these spices?
We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.
Are these spices certified organic?
Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
