Ground allspice
2 g1 teaspoon
6 g1 tablespoon
USDA ground allspice 1 tsp ≈1.9–2.0 g.
Instead of Ground allspice
Ground cinnamon (cassia)Use about 70% of the weight and add a pinch of ground clove (about 20% of the allspice weight); the result is more cinnamon-forward.
Ground cloveUse only about 20% of the weight; it is much stronger and can dominate the dish.
Ground nutmegUse about 50% of the weight; it gives warmth but lacks allspice's peppery edge.
