Allspice Whole

Available in
20g ECO Pack

Allspice has a warm spicy flavour similar to a mixture of cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. It is essential in Caribbean cuisine and key flavour in barbeque sauces.

Suggested Uses
Use in sweet cakes and stewed fruits.
Also compliments root veges, meats, gravies and seafood.

Use for pickles, relishes and adds depth of flavour to home made sauces.

Whole spices retain better flavour than ground. Store in the closed ziplock bag until needed and grind using a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle.

To get the flavour through a dish without leaving in the berries, add whole to a muslin bag then remove before serving.

I want all New Zealanders to discover the natural, healthy way to add taste and flavour to food.
