Pimento is the only spice that is grown exclusively in the Western Hemisphere and is native to southern Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"LEFT\">It is believed that pimento was first used by the ancient Mayans and Aztecs, who both used pimento along with cocoa and vanilla to flavor their favorite chocolate drink.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-US\" align=\"LEFT\">Its rich flavor resembles several other spices at the same time: pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
