Interesting facts: Pimento is an evergreen tree which is native to India, but also grows in South America. When it is the three years old, it starts to bear fruits, which contain two green, kidney-shaped seeds, which become black when the fruit is ripe. Pimento is also called Allspice and its aroma is reminiscent of a mixture of cloves, juniper berries, cinnamon and pepper, and is widely used in Indian as well as Mediterranean cuisine.
