Whole All-Spice Pimento Seeds powder smell a little like cloves mixed with cinnamon, nutmeg, juniper berries and pepper. Even though it’s not a mixture of any of these spices, it can be substituted to add a fresh, spicy, and sweet flavor to your menu. It is perfect for enhancing the flavors in your baked goods, soups, and stews. This seasoning has a distinct flavor that can even be used to intensify the flavor profiles of cinnamon and nutmeg. Pimento is a berry picked before it’s ripe from a tropical evergreen tree and dried and either sold as whole “berries” or ground up. Perhaps, most appropriate to its name, allspice is used to flavor various foods– pickling mixes, relishes, applesauce, ketchup, sausages and Swedish meatballs. It is also used in gravies, fruit cakes, cookies, plum puddings and preserves. These Pimento seeds can be used whole in teas, mulled wine or cider, and pickling or brining, or they can be crushed and sprinkled over your meats as a seasoning. Smart addition to any Kitchen!
