Aframomum melegueta

Grain of paradise · Grains of paradise

Grain of paradise seeds deliver pungent phenolics, including [6]-paradol and [6]-gingerol, that create a warming, thermogenic effect; early studies suggest they stimulate brown-fat activity and energy expenditure. Traditionally taken as a stimulant, digestive tonic and aphrodisiac, the seeds also supply carminative essential oils that ease digestive discomfort. A popular choice for performance, metabolic and flavour applications.
