Organic Ground Allspice, Pimenta dioica, is also called organic allspice, ground organic allspice, or organic allspice powder. It has an essential oil content between 1.5% and 5%.

Allspice was discovered on the island of Jamaica by Columbus during his second voyage to the New World in 1494. Columbus called Allspice “pimiento,” which is what the Spanish called black peppercorns because the dried Allspice berries looked similar to large, smooth, brownish black peppercorns. 

Organic Ground Allspice is popular with: 

• sauce and supplement manufacturers; 
• coffee shops; 
• seasoning companies; and

We also carry Organic Allspice Berries, Allspice Berries, Jamaican Allspice Berries, Ground Jamaican Allspice, and Ground Allspice.
