That pimento liqueur with some fresh mint or thyme and soda water on a hot day could probably bring someone back from the dead

This was an excellent documentary with many interesting facts! I love that it was made by somebody who is from the place where it’s grown. Not just a book report filled with stock photo images. This is a great combination of factual and cultural information!

I use to harvest pimento berries for sale in the hills of St.James. Pick them off the branches and put them to dry in the sun. It's good for medicinal purposes and pains. 💯🇯🇲

Finally, a real video about allspice, with real people, and not some AI slop.

Funny that you mention that back in the days people some people used to put stones and pieces of the trunks in the leaves to make up the weight, there is another spice,tumeric , they used to put stones in the bags also .this video brings back some memories.

Watching this video was a real delight especially considering our Maroon/Jamaican history with the Pimento plant. I truly appreciated this.

A really perfect commentary! Thanks so very much .

Really interesting and informative! Thank you! This actually sent me down an interesting rabbit hole - in most of the world "pimento" refers to allspice like this, but in the US we just call it allspice, because here the word "pimento" refers to the pepper used for pimento cheese and stuffed olives. Pretty interesting to learn they're two very different things, I've only ever seen the ground spice.

Jamaica has three endemic types and the common one which is found in other countries. Jamaica and Mexico are the largest producers and exporters.

Please do something on susumba (the young berries especially). I would like to try some recipes apart from the usual susumba & saltfish. Really impressed with your channel

Thank you! This video was SO helpful. I purchased a home from a Jamaican family. The property is an edible forest with lots of fruit trees! I cannot wait to harvest the allspice! You couldn’t have explained this any better!! Id love more videos like this.
