The Spice Hunter Allspice, Ground, Organic, 1.6-Ounce Jar

This is a must have in your herb cabinet. Dried fresh. Perfect for a pot pie.

As described

I love the product! It smells and tastes so good. Adds and extra something to the dishes I use it on.BUT... I am getting so sick of Amazon and their packaging. As soon as I started taking the plastic sealing off the of jar, half of it spilled because the plastic top was broken. Why do they insist on sending something in an ENVELOPE? Especially when it's a GLASS bottle with a PLASTIC top?

Amazing for soups and folding into bread dough.

I use marjoram in most of my cooking. When it was time to replace it I couldn’t find it in my usual stores thank god for Amazon!!!

I used this in soup and it was a subtle taste

We don't use a ton of nutmeg, but when we do, we want it to taste and smell fantastic. So I bought a grater and a jar of Spice Hunger whole nutmegs. We use it for lots of baking in the fall and winter, and last year I made Alton Brown's aged eggnog. The nutmeg tasted fantastic in the eggnog...mixed in, and sprinkled on just before drinking.So I had about 1/2 of a pod left, and thought, "shoot, better get some more before the baking season really takes off." Popped on Amazon--forgetting when and where I bought my last bottle--and proceeded to look for the best deal. I found this listing, clicked on it, and saw this notification at the top:"You last purchased this in November, 2014."Wowza. Ok, five years old and still going (smelling) strong? I bought another jar, but still kept using my 1/2 pod leftover from 2014.When the new jar arrived, I grated some just to compare. Folks, it smelled and tasted exactly the same: perfectly fresh, fragrant, perfect, and just waiting to be added to the litany of pumpkin spice goodies that we love for just a few months at a time. (Along with eggnog...and how!)$7 seems like a lot to spend on a jar of spice, but the good stuff truly lasts.

I like it being in a glass jar that will fit on my spice rack. In the jar I received, there are 16 whole nutmegs, minus the shell, or mace, that enclosed them until they were harvested. The aroma is delightful. There is a "best by" date of March 2021 on the jar. I know from experience that it will take me at least 10 years to use all 16 of these and that since I will grind them as needed they will be just fine until they are all gone. I probably use them at a rate of less than 1 per year. Pay no mind to the "best by" date. Oh, and I am sooo glad I bought these just now as here in Georgia the peach season is under way. There's a recipe on the side of the jar for roasted peaches: 3 large ripe peaches, 1-2 Tbsp. butter, 6 tsp. brown sugar (that's 2 Tbsp.), Nutmeg. Slice peaches in half and remove the pit. Place in an oven-safe baking pan. Place a small piece of butter (about a tsp.) in the center of each peach. Sprinkle each half with one tsp. brown sugar and bake at 375F for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with finely grated nutmeg. (1/8-1/4 tsp should be plenty.) I will let you know how this turns out.

Good value

Will buy again

Nice and fresh, don't use much of it; mostly on lamb, but when you're out!!! OMG!

good flavor

I couldn't find whole nutmeg in local groceries, so I checked Amazon. They have so many different brands and sizes, so I chose this one because of the ratings (only 2 at the time but they were 5 stars). I'm so glad I did; the bottle contained 15 of the fattest, most fragrant little nuts! You'll never buy store-bought ground nutmeg again.HOWEVER -- when I ordered them on Nov. 13, 2013, I paid 6.40 (and it was Amazon Prime) and now the price is almost 50.00! So if you're dead set on the organic variety, check back often for the price to come down, which it will. If buying non-organic is not a deal breaker, Spice Hunter sells the same product, but non-organic, 1.9 oz. for 6.61-- The Spice Hunter Nutmeg, East/West Indies, Whole, 1.9-Ounce Jar . (Personally I don't care if it's non-organic and would probably have purchased the non-org variety, but it wasn't available at the time.) And don't bother with buying a nutmeg grater if you have a microplaner; they work the same.So, if you're new to buying whole nutmeg (as I was), and the large selections offered by Amazon is confusing (as it was to me) this would be the perfect choice.

This ground ginger is a really great value. It tastes good. Smells good. It's just a bit... Clumpy. And it doesn't have a special inner lid to sift out how much you want, which is unfortunate. Overall, pretty solid.

I ordered these for a chili recipe. I know, bay leaves?, chili? That's what you put in spaghetti sauce? Well, there is a Tex-Mex place I started going to 30 years ago. They shut down and disappeared for over 10 years until their kids decided to re-open it again. This is the only place that made chili I liked better than my own. When I found out they re-opened I ran down and got a bowl of chili which was just like I remembered. However, this time I found a bay leaf in it. Ah hah!. My chili still doesn't come up to theirs but it is better with this new addition and these bay leaves are top of the line giving a very good flavor.
