Lady - Alligator Pepper

Alligator pepper is a West African spice with a warm, peppery and slightly citrusy flavor. The pod contains small aromatic seeds that can be eaten or used as a seasoning. It is commonly used in West African cooking and also has traditional cultural uses.

How to use it: Break open the pod and remove the seeds. The seeds can be chewed in small amounts, crushed or ground and added to soups, stews, sauces, meat dishes and other recipes. Because the flavor is strong, start with a small amount and add more to taste.
