Allspice is the berry of the evergreen pimento tree. 5 whole allspice berries = 1 teaspoon ground allspice Substitute: Combine 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon ground cloves
Allspice is the dried berry of a Jamaican pimento tree. Called allspice because it tastes like cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg it doesn't have any of those spices in it.
Allspice is the dried berry of the Jamaican pepper tree, also known as pimento tree. The berries have a combined flavor of cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon with a hint of juniper and peppercorn. Some enterprising spice companies sell a mixture of spices as allspice, so check the ingredients to be sure you are getting the real thing. Allspice is often called pimento, not to be confused with the capsicum pepper pimiento, which is a vegetable, not a spice.
A tablespoon of whole allspice is about 40 berries, and a tablespoon of ground allspice would be about 15-20. I would probably use two tablespoons and one teaspoon. Notice that many recipes call to cook with the whole berries and then take them out before eating, or else leave the berries in a marinade. If this is the case, ground allspice is not a good substitute. If you must use ground, you should probably only use half the amount or even less.
No it cannot, as they are both different things. Mixed Spice it a blend of spices, (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, corriander seed, cassia, allspice). Allspice comes from the dried, unripe berry of a pimento tree. It looks a little like a larger peppercorn... kinda.
