A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
Small brown dried berries, sold whole or ground. Allspice is one spice, not a mixed seasoning or Chinese five-spice powder.
In the kitchen
Used in marinades, stews, pickles and baking; it appears in some Macanese African-chicken preparations.
Its aroma recalls cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg. Whole berries and powder differ in use; check blended seasonings for other ingredients.
