"Allspice Allspice, also called pimenta, Jamaica pimenta, or myrtle pepper, is the dried unripe fruit (berries, used as a spice) of ""Pimenta dioica"", a midcanopy tree native to the Greater Antilles, southern Mexico, and Central America, now cultivated in many warm parts of the world. The name ""allspice"" was coined as early as 1621 by the English, who thought it combined the flavour of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Several unrelated fragrant shrubs are called ""Carolina allspice"" (""Calycanthus floridus""), ""Japanese allspice"" (""Chimonanthus praecox""), or ""wild allspice"" (""Lindera benzoin""). ""Allspice"" is also sometimes used to refer to the herb costmary (""Tanacetum balsamita"")."

""M. chamomilla"" is the most popular source of the herbal product chamomile, although other species are also used as chamomile. The word chamomile comes from the Greek χαμαίμηλον (""chamaimēlon"") meaning ""earth-apple"", which is derived from χαμαί (""chamai"") meaning ""on the ground"" and μήλον (""mēlon"") meaning ""apple"". It is so called because of the apple-like scent of the plant. Chamomile blue refers to chamazulene, the purified,"

It contains the skins, pulp, seeds, and stems of the fruit. Grape pomace has traditionally been used to produce pomace brandy (such as grappa, orujo, törkölypálinka, zivania). Today, it is mostly used as fodder, as fertilizer, or to extract bioactive compounds like polyphenols from it. ""Pomace"" is derived from the Latin ""pomum"" (fruit and fruit tree).
