ALLSPICE - JAMAICAN WHOLE

The whole berries smell way stronger than the pre-ground stuff I used to buy, and one or two go a long way in a pot of rice. They're small but surprisingly potent, so this bag is going to last me months.

I threw a few of these into my morning oatmeal and the whole kitchen smelled like a spice shop. The whole berries keep their oils way better than the ground stuff I used to buy, so a little goes a long way.

These berries are plump and fragrant, and a couple of them crushed into my jerk marinade made the whole kitchen smell like a proper island kitchen. I've used them in both a stew and a pumpkin pie this week, and the depth they add to sweet dishes honestly surprised me.
