~~~Grains of Paradise + Alton Brown Recipe for Lentil Soup~~~

Imagine one little seed that tastes like a combination of a mild black pepper, ginger, cardamom and coriander. Warm, spicy, a tad bitter, Grains of Paradise have a full, delicious taste and a lovely, citrus aroma.

Wade into the swamps of the West African "pepper coast," and you'll find this herbaceous, leafy perennial. The cube-ish seeds are found in pods that develop from violet/white, trumpet-like flowers. Grey when ground, the seeds are at first reddish brown. A member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), the spice is also known as melegueta pepper, guinea grains, guinea pepper, and alligator pepper. (It's not the same spice as Brazilian Malagueta pepper, though, which is a member of the Capsicum family.)

Commonly referred to as alligator pepper or melegueta pepper, our gourmet grains of paradise are grown in Africa and provide a warm, spicy bite with slightly bitter overtones. Grains of Paradise traveled the spice route via caravans over the Sahara. In Europe, it was often substituted for black pepper--until Vasco da Gama reached India in 1498 and replenished supplies of black pepper. The seeds were first named "Grains of Paradise" in the Middle Ages, when they were enjoyed as flavorings. They were often used throughout history to flavor alcohol. In fact, while England's Queen Elizabeth I used the grains for spicing wines and strengthening beer, King George III later declared the practice illegal and issued a heavy fine on any brewer who possessed the grains--as well as any druggist who sold it to a brewer. In the Caribbean islands, natives use the seeds for medicine and in voodoo rites. West Africans use the spice as a flavoring, but they also chew the seeds for their warming and digestive properties.

Grains of Paradise has become one of our new "hot" sellers. Alton Brown has had some recipes lately on the FoodTV Network Channel, one of our favorite channels to watch.

Deb's Update

Hello. Thought I would update my personal quests for you. As of today, Wednesday, May 5/27 my hubby and I are back on Weight Watchers after a little bit of a break. I have also quit smoking again. I had quit for about 3 months and started again last Friday....I was so sure that I could smoke for a couple of days and then stop again and that is exactly what I did. During that couple of days of smoking I felt like crap. My throat was so sore and I was so congested that it wasn't very difficult to quit again. I don't like feeling like that anymore. The bad thing is that now I have to start counting all over again so now I'm on Day 2! Any of you that are young or even young..ish stop now because it only gets harder the longer you wait. My Doctor actually told me that it was better for me to be heavy than to smoke.

Now on to fun things....don't forget to take a look at our website. We specialize in selling Spice Blends from Around The World, Barbecue Rubs, Chili Peppers including the HOTTEST in the world, Dried Mushrooms, Salt-Free Spice Blends, etc.

Chad says "Hurry and buy our curries"!!

Today, Chad wants me to blog about the different kinds of Curries that we carry in our website. He has used many of them here in our kitchen and the flavors are outstanding. The fabulous thing about curry powders is that you can use them for more than just sauces. Try using them as a sprinkle on fish or as a rub on ribs and spice up various vegetarian dishes. Spice up chicken salad with curry and grapes or use it in a breading for fried chicken....yum!!

Curries are the embodiment of creativity, so be creative!

Balti Curry Blend is a very aromatic curry blend based on the rich and creamy balti style cooking. Key spices are black & green cardamoms, ginger, black and white cumin, coriander, mace, cassia mustard seeds, pepper, curry leaves and cloves. A mildish blend.

Cambodian Lemongrass Curry~Try using this curry powder to make sauces for beef, chicken, pork, seafood, tofu and vegetables. To make a paste, simply mix together equal parts of spice, water and olive oil. Add 1-2 tbsp paste to a cup of coconut milk, yogurt, water or a combination of these to make a sauce. The neat thing about curry powders is that you can use them for more than just sauces. Try using them as a sprinkle on fish or as rub on ribs. Curries are the embodiment of creativity, so be creative!

eBay PowerSellers

Hello!! Wanted to let everyone know that we have changed our minds AGAIN and have reopened our store on eBay. We were hoping to sell only from our website but it just hasn't taken off that well yet that we can go without the extra income....unfortunately. eBay's is pretty expensive to sell on with their listing fees, final value fees once you sell something and the monthly fee for having the store but here we go again. eBay really made us mad too. They don't take care of their sellers very well meaning their buyers can do anything they want and the sellers can't do anything.

What you can do though is click here to go to our eBay store to read about our feedback from our buyers so that you know how we treat our customers. We are PowerSellers and have been for years. Then because our fees are so high there we would appreciate you ordering from our website so click here.

I'm sure you will be able to find a Spice Blend or two, Barbecue Rubs, Chili Peppers including the hottest in the world, etc.

Thanks so much.
