'Entirely different from black peppercorns and in my mind, incomparably better,' wrote Amanda Hesser of The New York Times. Grains of Paradise seeds are sweet-spicy but buttery, with a hint of lavender and juniper. Try them in a half-and-half mix with black peppercorns, in peppernut cookies, or our Carrot-Ginger Soup and see what you think. Visit our blog to learn more about grains of paradise.

About This Spice

A relative of both ginger and cardamom, this is what gives it its peppery floral flavor. This spice was used in Europe much the same way black pepper is used and it was also added to beverages like beer and wine. Grains of Paradise became popular when pepper became expensive and when the cost of pepper subsided Grains of Paradise became less known. Luckily it has been brought back through cooking knowledge of its added essence to its peppery flavor. Use Grains of Paradise in any dish you would add pepper to add a more floral note to your dish, or even mix with pepper in your pepper grinder to add depth.

Perfection

Fresh ground black pepper is like a well-played bass guitar, and Peppercorn Royale make it a 4 piece band. But add 25% Grains Of Paradise to the mix and you now have a full orchestra at Carnegie Hall. One taste and I’m already so spoiled with this, that I really, really don’t ever want to have pepper any other way. I can see myself sneaking my own mill into restaurants.

Incredible!

Fresh ground black peppercorns are like a well-played base guitar. Peppercorn Royale Mix make it a 4 piece band. Adding about 25% Grains of Paradise into the grinder turns this seasoning into a full orchestra at Carnegie Hall. Absolute pepper perfection.

Grains of Paradise - A perfect pepper substitute!

I was so thrilled and grateful to find Grains of Paradise from a trusted company like the Spice House. I have suffered from reflux that causes breathing issues for years and eventually discovered that it was largely caused by black pepper. Grains of Paradise is a perfect pepper substitute and I also use it to make my own pepper free spice blends and even pepper free sausage seasoning. It is such a wonderful discovery!

Great alternative to milled pepper

I really love this product! Gives all foods a great flavor and I've been using this in place of regular milled black pepper. Highly recommend this wonderful spice!
