An evergreen tall tree of the Myrtaceae family (APG classification: Myrtaceae). It grows to a height of 6-9 meters, and its leaves resemble those of the bay laurel. In summer, it produces many small white flowers at the ends of its twigs. The fruits are about 1 cm in diameter and contain one or two small seeds. Native to Jamaica, it has long been used as a spice in the area from Mexico to Brazil. [Hoshikawa Kiyochika August 20, 2020] The dried fruit is used as a spice. It is also known as 100-flavor pepper and 3-flavor pepper, and has the scent of nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon, which is why it is called allspice. Although it does not have the spiciness of pepper, it has a refreshing fragrance and a sweet and slightly bitter taste, making it a useful spice that can play three roles at once. Allspice was unknown to Western countries until Columbus discovered the Americas, but the Indians of the Maya Empire preserved the bodies of their great kings as mummies, scenting them with allspice. This spice is a versatile spice that goes well with both sweet and spicy dishes, so it is used in oyster stew, tomato soup, pot roast, salad dressing, beef stew, spaghetti sauce, meatloaf, cakes, etc. In Scandinavian countries, when transporting fish caught in deep-sea fishing grounds, allspice berries were placed in the barrel together with the fish to prevent them from spoiling.

フトモモ科(APG分類:フトモモ科)の常緑高木。高さ6~9メートル、葉はゲッケイジュに似る。夏季、小枝の先に小さな白い花を多数つける。果実は直径約1センチメートルで、小さい種子が1、2個入っている。ジャマイカ原産で、メキシコからブラジルに至る一帯で古くからスパイスとして利用された。 [星川清親 2020年8月20日] 実を乾燥させたものを香辛料として使う。別名を百味胡椒(ひゃくみこしょう)、三香子(さんこうし)ともよび、ナツメグ、クローブ、シナモンの三つの香りをもっており、オールスパイスの名もこれにちなむ。ペパー(胡椒)のような辛味はないが、さわやかな芳香と甘味とほろ苦味(にがみ)を兼ね備えているので、一人三役の働きをする香辛料として有用である。 オールスパイスは、コロンブスのアメリカ大陸発見までは西欧諸国に知られていなかったが、マヤ帝国のインディオたちは、彼らの偉大な王の死体を、オールスパイスで香り詰めにしてミイラとして保存していた。 この香辛料は、甘・辛どちらの料理にもよくあう万能香辛料なので、オイスターシチュー、トマトスープ、ポットロースト、サラダドレッシング、ビーフシチュー、スパゲッティソース、ミートローフ、ケーキ類などに使われる。北欧諸国では遠洋漁場でとった魚を運ぶとき、樽(たる)の中に魚といっしょにオールスパイスの実を入れ、腐らないようにしていた。 [齋藤 浩 2020年8月20日] [参照項目] | | |百味胡椒、三香子ともいう©Shogakukan"> オールスパイスの乾燥果実 百味胡椒、三香子ともよばれる©南雲今日子"> オールスパイス(パウダー) 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
