'spice you' is the definition.
'pimento' can be an answer for 'spice' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'you' bit.

'point out for me' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'out' becomes 'mento' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'me' becomes 'I'.
'mento' after 'i' is 'imento'.
'p'+'imento'='PIMENTO'

'could' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pimento that I've seen before include "Type of pepper" , "Allspice - top mine (anag)" , "Jamaica pepper" , "Plant" , "Vegetable" .)
