What is in Pumpkin Pie Spice
Pumpkin Pie Spice has 5 ingredients – Ground Cinnamon, Ground Nutmeg, Ground Allspice, Ground Ginger, and Ground Cloves. This Pumpkin Spice Recipe consists mainly of cinnamon, with the other spices boosting its flavor.
Cinnamon is used mostly in baking and cooking and has a sweet woody scent. It is the second most popular spice, after black pepper, and also has great health benefits.
Ground Nutmeg is spice made from the seed of the nutmeg. You can buy whole nutmegs and grind them for the spice, but it’s really much easier to buy it already ground. Nutmeg has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor and is delicious is Fall baking!
Ground Allspice is a flavor combination of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and pepper. Before grinding the allspice down, the seeds resemble dark brown peppercorns.
Ground Ginger like the other Fall spices, has an aromatic ingredient. Not only is this spice great for baking and cooking, it also has a long history as a treatment for nausea, motion sickness, and other digestive complaints.
Ground Cloves is a popular spice in many baked goods. Whole cloves are often used in cooking ham and roast.
