                                Despite its deceptive name, allspice is not a mixture of multiple spices but the single, dried berry of the Pimenta dioica tree, native to the Caribbean and Central America. This fact alone helps to clarify one of the most common misconceptions about its composition and whether it contains any additives like MSG.
