Allspices Leaf – कबाब चीनी पत्ती – ऑलस्पाइस पत्ती
Allspice Leaf (Pimento Leaf)
Explore the unique fragrance of Allspice Leaves, harvested from the Pimenta dioica tree – the same source as the familiar allspice berry. Often called Pimento Leaves, these are a traditional aromatic in Caribbean cuisine.
- Flavor: These leaves release a warm, complex scent reminiscent of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg, much like allspice berries, but often with a fresher, slightly greener profile.
- Culinary Uses: Essential for authentic Jamaican jerk cooking, used on the grill to infuse meats with their signature smoky, spicy flavor. They can also be used similarly to bay leaves, added whole to flavor stews, soups, rice dishes (like rice and peas), and marinades, then typically removed before serving.
- Appearance: Sold as whole, dried leaves, usually greenish-brown in color.
- Note: This is the leaf of the allspice tree, distinct from its berries and different from the bay leaves commonly used in European or Indian cooking (Laurus nobilis or Cinnamomum tamala).
