Allspice (ground)
Ground allspice weighs 96g per cup. Despite its name, allspice is a single spice — the dried berry of the Pimenta dioica tree — not a blend. It tastes like a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. It is central to Caribbean jerk seasoning and Swedish meatballs. Use sparingly as its flavor is strong. Whole allspice berries keep their flavor for years; ground allspice should be replaced after six months. Store in a sealed container away from light.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
