Burlap & Barrel - Grains Of Paradise

Grains Of Paradise Complex and aromatic, floral and citrusy, use in place of black pepper. Grains of Paradise are a complex, aromatic ingredient beloved across Africa, especially in Ethiopian and West African cuisines. Use whole or grind into stews and sauces for a heat that’s reminiscent of black pepper but beautifully herbal, floral and citrusy.

Burlap & Barrel is a single-origin spice company founded in 2016 by Ethan Frisch and Ori Zohar in New York. They source directly from smallholder farmers in over 20 countries, paying 5 to 20 times the commodity rate. Their spices are so fresh and potent that they recommend new customers use half a serving at first. "You are just cooking with old spices," says co-founder Zohar. "This is how it should be."
