Product - Grains of Paradise - 73 grams of high quality, rare and hard to obtain, Grains of Paradise from Africa (Non-Organic Product)

Product Information - Grains of paradise are indigenous to the West Coast of Africa from Sierra Leone to Angola. They are sometimes called Melegueta pepper which refers back to an old empire - Melle - inhabited by the Mandingos in the upper Niger region between Mauritania and Sudan. Although called pepper and used as a pepper substitute in the Middle Ages, grains of paradise are actually a member of the ginger and cardamom family.

They are brown, small seeds that are 2mm in diameter. Their taste is initially piney then peppery, hot, biting and numbing. Similarly, a lingering camphor flavour with notes of turpentine can be detected.
They are rare in European cooking nowadays. They are used to spice beer especially in traditional Belgian beers and we have incorporated into qâlat daqqa.
