## Overview

Savory Spice Grains of Paradise (Alligator Pepper) is a 2.8 oz container of whole Melegueta peppercorns, prized for their spicy, floral, and citrusy flavor profile. Native to West Africa, these pyramid-shaped seeds are perfect for grinding fresh to enhance meats, vegetables, and starches with a unique, aromatic twist that replaces traditional spices like black pepper, cinnamon, or cardamom.

## Description

A spicy and unique, full-flavored peppercorn. Spice up vegetables or meats, like potatoes, eggplants, and lamb. Try paradise seeds in place of pepper, cardamom, or cinnamon. Aromatic and related to ginger and cardamom, with hints of jasmine, hazelnut, and citrus. Best used when ground up in a pepper grinder. Use as a finishing seasoning pepper. Also known as Alligator pepper, in addition to many other names.

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

*by B***E on 14 October 2025*

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.
