Allspice accompanies us on journeys of discovery around the world and is always ready to add aroma and flavor to any recipe it is added to. It is one of the most popular spices in our cuisine and is described as allspice because it contains the aromas of all spices.

The beneficial properties of allspice are due to its famous antioxidant compounds:

• Antioxidant compound eugenol - the strongest antioxidant in allspice, comprising 60-90% of it.
• Antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer action.
• Quercetin and ferulic acid - phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties.
• Essential nutrients: manganese, calcium, iron, copper, vitamin B5.

The list of health benefits is endless, including the reduction of inflammation and the regulation of sugar levels.

We owe the nickname "Clove Pepper" to Columbus's mistake, who went to find pepper and returned with its spicy doppelgänger!
