Grains Of Paradise - 100G

Grains of Paradise (Aframomum melegueta) are the dried seeds of a West African spice, prized for their lively, peppery heat and citrusy lift. Crack a few and you'll catch warm notes reminiscent of cardamom and coriander with a subtle floral edge. They shine anywhere black pepper does, but bring extra complexity to rubs, pickles and infusions.

Cooks love them for finishing grilled meats, seafood and hearty veg, and they add intrigue to cocktails and craft brews. Naturally vegan and food grade, they're an adventurous pantry staple for curious palates. Why we love it: Bright, peppery and just a bit exotic, grains of paradise offer heat with character rather than brute force.

They layer flavour-pepper first, then gentle cardamom/coriander tones-to make everyday dishes feel special. We also love how a quick crush releases huge aroma, so a little goes a long way.
