Whole Allspice Berries 1.2oz

What is Selefina Whole Allspice Berries 1.2oz?

Selefina Whole Allspice Berries 1.2oz are a high-quality culinary spice sourced for freshness and potency. Despite its name, allspice comes from a single berry—Pimenta dioica—not a blend. These whole berries resemble small, smooth, brown peppercorns with a subtle calyx crown, offering a warm, pungent aroma. They deliver a layered flavor profile that evokes clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg, yet with a unique citrusy, peppery finish that stands apart. Sold by Adagio Teas, this 1.2oz package ensures long shelf life and consistent quality for home cooks and seasoned chefs alike.
