Allspice Powder (1 oz.)

Allspice is actually derived from berries that are native to Jamaica, Guatemala, and Honduras. The berry (also called the pimento, Jamaica pimento, Jamaica pepper, pimenta, or myrtle pepper) is picked from the Pimenta dioica, an evergreen tree in the myrtle family.  The fruit is then dried into small, dark balls that resemble peppercorns. The balls are often ground into powder and used to season food.
