Allspice
Allspice, available as whole berries or ground, is a sweet spice of Caribbean origin with
a flavor suggesting a blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. The berries can be crushed to
release more of their flavor.
Flavor: smooth taste with hints of cloves and cinnamon. Allspice can be substituted for
cloves.
