Grains of Paradise Powder (Aframomum melegueta) is a finely milled, warm-aromatic spice made from carefully dried grains of paradise seeds. With a peppery sparkle and hints of cardamom and coriander, it shines in savoury cooking and spirit infusions.
♡ Why we love it: It brings a lively, pepper-meets-citrus note to rubs, stews and pickles, and the smooth powder blends cleanly into marinades and gin botanicals for an elegant, aromatic lift.
Sizes: 250g or 1kg.
Uses
- Peppery seasoning for grilled meats, roast vegetables, stews and spice rubs
- Flavour accent for pickling mixes, chutneys and relishes
- Gin botanical alongside juniper for fragrant spirit infusions
- Baking spice for breads, crackers and savoury biscuits
- Companion spice in after-meal herbal tea blends with ginger or cinnamon
Benefits
- Traditionally used in herbalism as a warming carminative for post-meal comfort
- Aromatic spice that supports flavourful, satisfying cooking
- Claimed to assist with a clear, gentle heat without the sharpness of black pepper
How to use
-
Culinary: Start with ¼-½ tsp powder per recipe (or per 2 servings) in marinades, stews, rubs or pickles; adjust to taste
-
Herbal tea (powder): Use ½-1 tsp per 250 ml freshly boiled water; infuse 5-10 minutes, then strain through fine mesh or muslin
