Description and Uses |
|||
| Another find for our friends in the culinary guild, this is one of the rarest spices in the west. From a cousin of the familiar peppercorn, these are two inch long bud heads made up of about one hundred tiny seeds, gray in color, and tightly bunched together. Used for it's peppery-ginger-ish flavor in ancient times, it's now one of the exotics in complex spice blends like Ras el Hanout from the Middle East. This spice is great for food experiments. | |||
