The seeds of the evergreen Pimenta trees provide the spice. The seeds are harvested green, which turn brown after drying and their surface becomes wrinkled. The smell is similar to cloves, with a hint of cinnamon, the taste is reminiscent of pepper and is similarly hot. Christopher Columbus lived in the belief that he had found pepper in the Caribbean islands until his death. It also got its name from there, in Spanish "Pimienta" means pepper. It can be used for marinating fish and meat dishes, making ragouts, sauces, and flavoring pâtés.
