Grains of Paradise Seeds (5 x 1kg)

Grains of paradise seeds are whole, reddish-brown peppery seeds supplied in a bulk box for restaurants, bakeries, caterers and food manufacturers across the UK. Also sold as melegueta pepper, they give warm pepper heat with citrus and cardamom-like notes. Chefs use them to add depth where plain black pepper would taste flat. Buying wholesale keeps spice rubs, blends and bakes consistent from one batch to the next.

Key Features of Wholesale Grains of Paradise Seeds

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Supplied as a bulk box for restaurants, caterers, bakeries and wholesalers who use spice every week and want it on the shelf.
• Trade Pricing: Buying in bulk gives a cost-effective trade price per portion. That suits spice-blend production and busy commercial kitchens better than small retail jars.
• Whole Seed Form: The seeds hold their aroma until they are cracked. Crush them in a mortar, pepper mill or spice grinder when the dish needs them.
• Peppery, Citrus and Ginger Notes: The heat is warm rather than sharp, with a clean citrus edge and a hint of cardamom. This lets one ingredient work in both savoury and sweet recipes.
• Good for Infusing: Steep lightly crushed seeds in cream, milk, syrups, stocks or spirits. The flavour carries through without the dark specks that black pepper leaves.
• Storage & Handling for Bulk Packs: Keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from strong odours. Reseal the box after each use.
