## Description

desertcart.com : The Spice Lab (2.6 oz) Grains of Paradise (Aframomum Melegueta Pepper/Paradise Seeds, Alligator Pepper, Mbongo or Hepper Pepper) - Kosher Non-GMO All Natural Guinea Pepper (Packed in USA) : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Great taste for a pepper substitute - Lovely taste and a great value. Great for spice blends or a pepper substitute. It's quite nutty and peppery
Review: Perfect for wild game and smoke - I've always added good ground and cracked black pepper with a concoction of other spices including caraway, juniper berry, clove and cardamom to wild duck, bear, goose and venison. This replaces all but the caraway. Has a bit of a citrus, clove, cardamom undertone. I'm still experimenting with it, but it goes extremely well with grilled and smokey wild game, as well as pressure cooked wild fowl with onion and celery. A very complex flavor. I still do add some cracked T. Pepper corns to spike up the pepper heat, but I like it hot, so your results may vary. Will be trying it on maple glazed smoked and grilled salmon and lake trout shortly, I expect it to be fabulous!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My new favorite thing!
*by D***S on October 23, 2022*

I had never heard of grains of paradise, until I bought the Official Skyrim Cookbook. A lot of the recipes in the book call for using this spice, so I bought some. Wow, I love it! It has a wonderful, spicy flavor that I like better than black pepper. It's great in just about everything. I use it on eggs, in salads, soups, stews, grilling...even sprinkle a bit on a sandwich to add some zing. Give this a try. I highly recommend it.
