All Spice
Allspice is a spice made from the dried berries of the Pimenta dioica plant, which is native to the Caribbean, Central, and South America. The spice is called “allspice” because its flavor profile is said to resemble a combination of several different spices, including cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
