Savory Spice Grains of Paradise - Alligator Pepper, Whole - Authentic Melegueta Pepper (Paradise Seeds) (Net: 2.8 oz)

Typical size for a spice container. Never having tried it before, we found it to have a nice flavor.

Peppery, citrusy, floral, strong flavored spice. A little goes a long way with using in a spice mix, there’s a tiny amount of stems/other plant material that isn’t the seeds themselves in the bottle also, but most of it is so lightweight that I’m pretty sure it’s negligible for the total weight labeled. I measure out what I’m going to use and then pour it out on a flat surface so I can pick out stems w/tweezers before adding into the rest of the spice mix I’m making for grinding.

I used the Grains of Paradise in the "Stormcloak seasoning" to make a cheddar potato soup. I have to say, this is more than a typical black pepper, and that was the best potato soup I have ever had (courtesy of the Elder Scrolls cookbook). Well worth the money for the experience! I have used it in several dishes now, and will definitely be keeping it in my pantry from now on.

Wonderful!

Nice spice to use. Quality was worth the money.
