Description

Around the 13th Century, Melegueta Pepper was being traded in Europe

The merchants would describe Africa as a paradise on earth where paradise plants would grow and provide grains of paradise, it does not matter where you come from in this world, the idea of conjuring up an image of satisfaction combines the generations of spice merchants that have come before me!

Found growing in the West Coast of Africa, the plants are a strain of Ginger with the Grains of Paradise or Melegueta being the seeds

Quite plain in aroma it is surprising when the warm and intense pepper pungency comes through yet subtle with a hint of nuts

Perfect with French classic cuisine and stews, the grains of paradise ironic is great with ginger biscuits and cakes and fruit jams

Use freshly and coarsely ground

Grown in Ghana

Grinder Use - Yes

Mortar and Pestle Use - Yes

    They had a hard to find product at a sensible price and weight. Easy to understand website - good info. Ordering was easy and service super fast. Will order again if they have what I need.
