Grains of Paradise Are The Best Spice You've Never Heard Of/// Grains of Paradise are small seeds that grow in the wilds of West Africa. The name derives from the legend of medieval spice traders who, in an attempt to charge a larger fee, claimed that the grains were grown only in the Garden of Eden.

If you do one thing this summer, pick up a package of grains of paradise. Your grilled steaks will thank you. Also your fish. Also your potato salads. In fact, I think the warm, spicy, woodsy flavor of this little known West African spice is going to make a top-notch addition to just about all our favorite summer picnic foods. Now that I’ve discovered it, I can’t get enough. I originally bought my grains of paradise for a summer wheat beer that I was planning to brew.
