Allspice

Allspice is the dried berry of the pimento, an evergreen tree growing as high as 40 ft in the West Indies, South America, Central America, and Mexico. It bears opposite, leathery, oblong to oblong-lanceolate, leaves whose pinnately arranged veins show prominently on the underside. Small white flowers grow in many-flowered cymes in the upper leaf axils from June to August. The fruit is a fleshy, sweet berry which is purplish-black when ripe. The berries used for allspice, however, are collected when they have reached full size but are not yet ripe. The name comes from the berry’s taste, which has been described as a combination of cloves, juniper berries, cinnamon, and pepper.
