don't know what it is in english but it basically a herb that grows on bushes which looks like a little pepper corn. Its green and goes black when it dries up. Got some at my house but don;t know its english name.

ok, so is it the size of a peppercorn or larger?
could it be nutmeg? but nutmeg is quite large though.
do you have a picture, if you can send one to [email protected]

can you give me the spelling in greek, might be able to look in a dictionary
cheers thanks for the help.

Done some looking around, i think its called Allspice, looks like a peppercorn, also known as Pimento.
