Badia Allspice Ground Spice, 16 oz

Ground allspice in a 16 oz size — the dried, ground berry of the Jamaican pimento tree, with the layered warmth of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a single jar. The bulk size is sized for bakeries, jerk operations, and kitchens that build allspice into rubs and braises year-round.

Common Uses

The backbone of Jamaican jerk rubs, brown stew chicken, oxtail, curry goat, and beef patties. Whisked into Middle Eastern kibbeh, kofta, and rice pilafs like hashweh. Stirred into pumpkin pie, gingerbread, spice cookies, Swedish meatballs, and apple butter. A core note in baharat and many Caribbean curry powders.

Cuisine Context

In Jamaica, allspice is pimento — the spice the island gave the world and still grows better than anywhere else. Across the Levant, it carries the warm savory notes in stuffed vegetables, lamb dishes, and the rice that goes underneath them.

Pro Tip

Ground allspice is potent. Start with half what a recipe calls for and taste — especially in baking, where it can overpower cinnamon and nutmeg if you're heavy-handed. For jerk rubs, pair it 1:1 with brown sugar to balance the heat from Scotch bonnet.
