Allspice Overview
Allspice (Pimenta dioica) is a tropical evergreen tree that is native to Central America and the Caribbean. It belongs to the myrtle family (Myrtaceae). The fruit of the allspice tree is a small, round berry that is green when unripe and turns a reddish-brown color when ripe. The dried berries of the tree are most often used as a spice in cooking, while both the berries and leaves have been used in traditional medicine for their purported inflammatory, analgesic, and digestive properties.
