Grains of Paradise

Grains of paradise are small spice seeds with a peppery bite and layered aroma. The flavor starts sharp, like black pepper, then opens into light citrus and warm spice notes. When freshly ground, they release a clean heat that stays bright rather than heavy. They work best as a finishing spice, added just before serving.
