Allspice is a warm, aromatic spice made from dried berries that tastes like a blend of cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. It is commonly used in savory dishes such as chili, beef stew, jerk chicken, meatballs, and rice or bean dishes, as well as in baked goods like pumpkin pie, apple pie, spice cake, gingerbread, and cookies. Traditionally, allspice has also been used in herbal remedies to support digestion, reduce inflammation, help fight certain bacteria and fungi, and soothe mild cold symptoms.
