[Sca-cooks] grains of paradise was cubebs

[Jennifer Thompson]

I've been meaning to ask..... we were in the homebrew store recently and saw
in the little pre-packaged plastic bags of spices, small black seeds? pods?
larger than poppy seeds, smaller than peppercorns (I know, that's a pretty
big window) labeled "Paradise".

Could this be grains of paradise?   If so, there's another source for those
who don't have ethnic grocery stores nearby.
