Essential organic Herbs and Spices contain no colourings, flavourings, preservatives or additives of any kind. Known as Jamaican pepper or Pimento berries, this spice is indigenous to Central America and the West Indies. An ingredient of mixed spice, it is widely used in Central and South American cooking. Can also be used in soups, savoury dishes and cakes. May contain traces of celery seed or mustard seeds.

Use sparingly to give a ‘herby’ flavour to savoury dishes including omelettes, casseroles, pasta sauces and stews.

The seed, when ground, has a sharp acrid flavour similar to celery.

particularly well suited to flavour pork or ham dishes and is also used with stewed or baked fruit.
