Grains of Paradise: In the Middle Ages, black pepper was a most prized  spice. But when it was in short supply in India from the fifteenth century  onwards. European traders would replace it wiht a kind of ersatz pepper  from teh coast of Guinea in West Africa, known as 'maniguette' or  'malaquette', which is also known as guinea pepper or grains of paradise.  Grains of paradise are related to the cardamom, but have a hot peppery  taste. The plant itself [Aframomum melegueta] grows like reeds and has  trumpet-shaped flowers. In colonial America, grains of paradise were used  in beer and mulled wine. Even today, the Sam Adams Beer Company of New  England makes a summer ale with this exotic spice. Grains of paradise is  used mostly in West and North African cooking. You will not find it in  your local supermarket, but certain natural food supermarkets like Whole  Foods do carry it.
