## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff
*by S***D on August 11, 2026*

Used in lentil soup

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great spice
*by D***A on March 12, 2026*

My brother's partner is allergic to regular peppercorns, and this is a great substitute. I find the flavor is slightly sharp but pleasing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great experience!
*by B***E on October 14, 2025*

I used the Grains of Paradise in the "Stormcloak seasoning" to make a cheddar potato soup. I have to say, this is more than a typical black pepper, and that was the best potato soup I have ever had (courtesy of the Elder Scrolls cookbook). Well worth the money for the experience! I have used it in several dishes now, and will definitely be keeping it in my pantry from now on.
