Allspice, ground

Ground allspice is a spice made from the dried berries of the allspice tree. It contains fat and protein, along with minerals including calcium and potassium. Per 100g, ground allspice provides 8.7g of fat, 6.1g of protein, 660mg of calcium and 1040mg of potassium.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Potassium is involved in nerve signalling and muscle contraction. Although the mineral figures are notable per 100g, allspice is generally used in small amounts for flavouring, so its contribution to nutrient intake will depend on the amount used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
