Badia Allspice Whole Jar 12 oz
Whole allspice berries from Badia, packed in a 12 oz jar — the warm, clove-meets-cinnamon-meets-pepper spice that anchors slow-cooked Cuban and Caribbean dishes.
Common Uses: Whole berries dropped into ropa vieja braising liquid, ajiaco, carne guisada, and fricasé de pollo. Tied into a sachet for soup bases and bean pots. Toasted and ground fresh for picadillo or holiday baking.
Pantry Role: Base seasoning and prep line staple for stews, braises, and long-simmer dishes where whole spice releases more slowly than ground.
Common In: Cuban, Caribbean, and pan-Latin kitchens — especially dishes with tomato, bay leaf, and cumin as the backbone.
Pairs With: Bay leaf, cumin, garlic, oregano, black peppercorn, sofrito, and tomato-based braises.
The 12 oz jar is the working size for households that cook stews weekly or restaurants prepping in volume. Ships nationwide.
