Types of Pimenta

Allspice

Allspice is cultivated commercially and in private tropical herb gardens. The plant is primarily grown for its fragrant berries that appear in the late summer and fall. The berries are dried and used as a flavoring in several dishes. The berries' mix of fragrances is also why it is occasionally referred to as 'allspice.'
