General Information
Whole pimento is a spice with a split personality. It has a spicy zing, a sweet bite and a dark brown colour.
Whole pimento, which is locally known as Allspice is a common spice, a native of the Caribbean. It has a complex taste, like nutmeg, clove and cinnamon all in one and can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes.
The whole pimento is the dried fruit of the pimento tree, native to the Caribbean. The name comes from its flavour similarity with common black pepper, which is called “pimenta” in Portuguese.
It is not bitter nor very hot but is pleasantly fragrant and warm. It is used to flavour meat, fish, puddings, custards and cakes, and any dish that needs a kick of spicy warmth.
The Best Way to Use Whole Pimento
Allspice is an essential ingredient if you’re looking to add an aromatic Caribbean flavour to your dish. It’s warm, rich and flavourful with a hint of sweetness that bestows all of your dishes with its uniquely pungent aroma.
Sprinkle ground allspice on buttery turkey stuffing, add whole berries to your holiday pies, or add the zest of an allspice winter squash to a savoury rice stew.
Use six whole allspice in place of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of ground pimento.
