Description and Uses
One of the hardest to find spices, our culinary guild friends had us track this one down for recreating some of their ancient recipes. A cross between pepper, ginger, and cardamom in flavor, it is actually related to none of them. The plant produces a poppy like pod which contains about 50 of the cube-ish seeds. Try adding it to middle eastern lamb or eggplant dishes. ********************* Increased demand for these pungent little seeds, geopolitical upheaval in central Africa and a limited supply of quality product has caused quite a bottleneck. As such, we haven't seen them in the store for some time. We will continue in our efforts to find a consistent source so please check this page for updates on our progress. We leave this page up for information and reference. Thanks for your understanding and wish us good luck on the hunt. *********************
