SPICE & CO Allspice Pimento Ground 40g

Allspice combines the distinct flavours of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. It can be used in any recipe as a substitute for cloves where a milder flavour is desired. Allspice is used in Jamaican Jerk Spice Mix/Rub. Allspice is used in beetroot soup (Borsch) and Middle Eastern dishes such as Lamb Kibbeh and Moroccan Tagines.  Allspice complements the flavours of bananas, mangoes, cherries, plums and pears in dessert recipes.
