Allspice whole
Allspice is well-known and popular all over the world. It is easily confused with black pepper, as allspice looks almost like black pepper and tastes similarly hot.
Unlike pepper, allspice not only has a pleasant, slightly burning pungency, but also combines the sweet-tart aromas of a wide variety of spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper and cloves. This is why allspice is also called all-spice. A hint of allspice is usually enough for an intense taste experience.
Whole allspice grains or ground?
That is a matter of taste with allspice. As a whole grain, it is easy to cook with and is suitable for a longer cooking time. The flavour is much more intense if the allspice has been ground beforehand or ground in a mill. But here too, less is more.
