What is Allspice?

Allspice comes from the dried green berries of the Pimenta dioica tree, which grows in the Caribbean and Central America. It has a special taste that combines cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove, making it very popular in cooking. Besides cooking, people also use allspice essential oil in natural wellness products and aromatherapy. Its warm and spicy scent is known for being calming.

Other names for allspice include:

• Jamaica pepper
• Pimento (not to be confused with another type of pepper)
• Myrtle pepper

Types, Varieties & Forms

Allspice is available in different forms for various uses:

• Whole Allspice Berries: These maintain their flavor and oils. They are good for grinding fresh, pickling, or making spice infusions.
• Ground Allspice: This version is easy to use in spice mixes, baking, marinades, and meat rubs.
• Allspice Essential Oil: This oil is made from the berries and leaves through steam distillation. It's used in perfumes, aromatherapy, massage oils, and soaps.

Harvest Season

Allspice is usually harvested from July to October. This is when the green berries are fully grown but not yet ripe. Important areas for growing allspice include Jamaica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. Prices can vary based on berry size, oil content (especially eugenol), drying methods, and demand around the world. Since workers hand-pick the berries and sun-dry them, weather can greatly affect how much is produced.

Producing Countries

Jamaica is well-known for making high-quality allspice. Its rich soil and traditional farming methods help in producing it. Here are some of the main producers:

• Jamaica: Jamaica has native allspice trees. The allspice from there is prized for its strong flavor and oil, making it more expensive.
• Mexico: Mexico is the biggest exporter of allspice. It supplies large amounts mainly to factories.
• Guatemala: Guatemala produces reliable allspice for cooking that meets export standards.
• Honduras: Honduras is known for making essential oils.

In 2023, Jamaica's allspice exports were between US$1.4 and $2.1 million each year. This accounts for about 7% of the country's agricultural exports.
