Yes you are right Alain. Despite its name, allspice is not a blend of spices. It is a single ingredient: the dried, unripe berry of the Pimenta dioica tree, native to the Caribbean and Central America. In Holland we call it Piment. It has a really pleasant and interesting taste, a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper and a hint of clove maybe. We also love to use it in stewed pears and glühwein.

Enjoy your baking and cooking

Except allspice is not a blend of spices. 😉
But you are correct of course about Baharat.

Hello Jackie,
We totally agree that making your own fresh blend is best for getting the optimal aroma and flavor!
Thank you again and enjoy your baking

Thank you for your contribution and explanation

mixture combines black pepper, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, and paprika. It is best made by grinding whole spices fresh for maximum aroma

Bharat is comibination of different spices,just like allspice is a combination of different spices

On the tin we use it says; 43% paprika, coriander seed, black pepper, 10% cinnamon, cumin seed, cardamom, onion, garlic, nutmeg, cloves, cayenne pepper.

Is it the 5 spice mix? The 7 spice mix? The 9 spice mix?

If I go to a Middle Eastern grocery store and ask for baharat they will show me where the spice isle is and ask me which one in particular I am looking for. So just calling it baharat isn’t helpful. Which baharat are we talking about?

Thank you for that great compliment. Much appreciated.
