What is pimento
Pimento (Pimenta Diocia) was indigenous to Jamaica and its inhabitants, the Arawak Indians when it was first discovered by European explorers in 1421
More popularly known as "allspice", a phrase coined by the British circa 1621, because it combines the flavors of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg
Dried pimento berries is the essence of Jamaican cuisine and no authentic Jamaican meal is complete without pimento - especially the now globally popular Jerk rub used to marinade chicken, pork or fish, cooked over pimento wood and charcoal
In Jamaica, both ripe and unripe red pimento berries have historically been used to heal and soothe, as in the Jamaican culture pimento, like ginger fixes everything
Long before modern medicine, this powerful herbal liquid remedy has been used for centuries as a Jamaican bush medicine to anoint away various types of pain, the leaves drunk as a tea to cure digestive issues, nausea, cramps, toothaches, amongst other mild ailments and used as a food preservative before refrigeration
Pimento in one form or another has always been the traditional remedy of choice in Jamaican households both at home and abroad. Usually a small flask of unripe pimento berries and ginger fermented in Jamaican White Rum is always kept close to "rub down" a sickly child or adult who needs to sweat out a fever, or relieve a stomach pain
