PARADISE SEED 2GRAMS
Aframomun melegueta Also called "Grains of paradise", "Guinea grains" and "Melegueta pepper", these small seeds look like cardamom but have a character all their own. The spice is native to West Africa and during medieval times was used to flavor food. It has also been used as a pepper substitute. While it does have a peppery zing, it also has notes of citrus and an "earthy" pine aroma.
Paradise Seed is appreciated for its unique spicy-hot flavor with subtle notes of ginger. Add 1 to 8 grams or about 1/4 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon of Paradise Seed to a 5 gallon batch of wort. The seeds should be crushed in a mortar and pestle, or between two other hard surfaces, before being added to the wort toward the end of the brewing process to retain Paradise Seed's Aroma.
