CP Ground Allspice | 5 lb/2.27 kgs

Allspice earns its name the dried berry of the Pimenta dioica tree genuinely delivers notes of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg from a single spice. CP Ground Allspice in the 5 lb / 2.27 kg institutional canister is a cornerstone spice for kitchens that produce Caribbean-inspired dishes, slow-braised meats, holiday baking, or complex spice blends at scale.

In Jamaican jerk seasoning one of the most popular spice profiles to cross into mainstream Canadian foodservice ground allspice is the non-negotiable foundation. It bridges the scotch bonnet heat with aromatic depth in a way no substitute can. Beyond jerk, allspice underpins Jamaican brown stew chicken, Trinidadian pelau, and a range of Central American and Middle Eastern dishes where its complex warmth is foundational rather than supplemental.

In European-style preparations, allspice appears in Swedish meatballs, German sauerkraut braises, Scandinavian cured fish, and British Christmas puddings. Pastry and baking operations also rely on allspice in spiced cookie blends, fruit cakes, and pumpkin spice compound mixes. This broad applicability makes bulk purchasing in a 5 lb canister a practical choice for any kitchen running diverse menus or seasonal specials.
