Allspice is produced by picking the berries from the plant’s small flowers and then drying them in the sun until they’re browned. It may be sold both ground or whole.

Today, allspice is mostly used as a seasoning for meats, desserts, and even liqueurs. Nevertheless, it has a history of use as a home remedy for colds, menstrual cramps, indigestion, headache, fatigue, and nasal congestion.
