The shrubs are native to the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico and Central America, although it is now cultivated in many warm countries.
It was named 'allspice' by the English in 1621, because they thought it tasted like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
Allspice is a dried unripe fruit from the allspice plant. It is so-named because its aroma resembles the combined flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
