Frontier Natural Products, Grains of Paradise, 2.26 oz (64 g)

This is an interesting spice with a black pepper 'chase' / 'finish'. It seems a very specific taste but for some dishes it's a nice addition; I found it a particularly nice addition to Moroccan dishes.

Good for flavor to vegetables and meat

Good product

Has given me and my wife stomach pains every time that we have tried it. Will just have to bin it now.

Wow, very good. I just discovered it! Worth having, you won't be disappointed

I'm allergic to pepper so Grains of Paradise have been a big blessing as a replacement for pepper. The only reason I didn't give this five stars is because the grains are smaller than peppercorns and the grinder doesn't do a good job of grinding them. They need to replace this packaging with a finer grinder.The Grains of Paradise have a great taste, though, and I've been able to eat them with no problem. They have also been able to be substituted for pepper in every recipe I have tried without a negative difference. I do have to use more than with some peppers, but the taste is great.UPDATE 11/2/17: I noticed that the packaging had been updated so I purchased another bottle to see if the grinder had been improved. I am thrilled to say that it has been. It seriously took me over half an hour to get a teaspoon of pepper with the original grinder. I got that much in my first minute with the new grinder. So now I have a great-tasting pepper alternative that I can actually use. Kuddos to Frontier Grains!

Good

Great sub for pepper but takes forever to grind enough to use!

This spice has recently found a home in the Craft Beer industry, with such brews as "Summer Ale" by Sam Adams. Inspired by Summer Ale, I brew a (frankly much better) pale ale recipe using nearly 1 teaspoon for a 5-gallon (2-case) batch of homebrew.Paradise Seed has a mild peppery spice to it, but it's aroma is purely tropical, with notes of pineapple and passion fruit. I tend to unscrew the lid of this jar and use a spice-grinder for a finer grind, and the aromas when I open the grinder are absolutely fantastic.Paradise Seed lends a fantastic flavor and aroma to an American Pale Ale, but is also purely fantastic on steaks. Cover steaks with salt and grains of paradise before grilling, and you're in for a wonderful treat.Also, as most homebrew stores sell Paradise Seed in .25 ounce bags for something like 3-5 dollars, this 2.26 ounce jar is an incredible bargain.
