Customer Reviews

Taking pepper one step up
This is a good spice to use in place of black pepper. For me it hit all the notes of pepper and adds more with some mild background flavors.

Heard about it on good eats
As most people who've bought grains of paradise from amazon.com i heard about this product from alton browns apple pie. and it tastes great! if you plan on using it often for his recipes i'd gor with the bag not the container.

Grains of Paradise
This was the first of several items to arrive for the Apple Pie recipe from Alton Brown. Since my grinder didn't work I had to crush the seeds . Didn't get as fine as I wanted, but was OK. It did add a pinch of new taste, but not overwhelming.
