Ground Allspice
Warm, aromatic pimento with flavour notes reminiscent of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg.
SpiceBloom Ground Allspice is made from dried pimento berries, finely ground into a versatile spice for sweet and savoury cooking. Although its name can sound like a spice mixture, allspice is a single ingredient.
Its warm flavour brings together impressions of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and gentle peppery depth. That makes it especially useful in Caribbean-style jerk seasoning, stews, sauces, marinades, baking and winter drinks.
Because the spice is already ground, it blends easily through doughs, sauces, meat rubs and seasoning mixtures. Begin with a small amount, as its aroma can become dominant when used too heavily.
Why Keep Ground Allspice in Your Pantry?
Its layered flavour lets one spice add warmth, depth and gentle complexity across a wide range of recipes.
Layered Warmth
Brings cinnamon-like sweetness, clove-like depth and nutmeg-style warmth in a single ingredient.
Made for Savoury Cooking
Useful in jerk-style rubs, meat marinades, stews, soups, sauces and slow-cooked dishes.
Excellent for Baking
Adds warm spice to gingerbread, cakes, biscuits, fruit desserts and festive baking mixtures.
What Does Allspice Taste Like?
Ground allspice has a warm, rounded flavour often compared with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, followed by a mild peppery note.
It works well where a recipe needs depth without adding several separate spices. In savoury cooking, it complements garlic, chilli, thyme, onion and black pepper. In baking, it pairs naturally with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and brown sugar.
Easy Ways to Use It
- Jerk-style seasoning: Combine with chilli, thyme, garlic, onion and black pepper.
- Stews and soups: Add a small amount for warm aromatic depth.
- Meat marinades: Mix into rubs and marinades for chicken, beef, pork or lamb.
- Baking: Use in gingerbread, cakes, biscuits, fruit loaves and spiced desserts.
- Sauces: Stir into barbecue sauces, tomato sauces and slow-cooked gravies.
- Drinks: Add sparingly to hot chocolate, cider or other spiced beverages.

Great Brazil Nuts very fresh, crunchy and tasty.
So fresh
Love it
Bought to spread round amaryllis lilies - apparently oats repel slugs/snails. We will see. I used to like oats, but as vac injured son became gluten sensitive, I no longer buy them for just me. Happy to share them with the snail population until they move house. meantime will hise the packet from son.
Yum top notch pumpkin seeds love the quality 😋
