Grains of Paradise is a complex, aromatic ingredient beloved across Africa, especially in Ethiopian and West African cuisines. The heat of this spice is reminiscent of black pepper yet beautifully herbal, floral, and citrusy. Use whole or ground in stews, sauces, rice or grains for an infusion of flavor. Grind it and add to banana bread or other sweet baked goods. Make your own homemade berbere by grinding and blending with chili, turmeric, cumin and paprika.
