[Sca-cooks] grains of paradise was cubebs

[Dana Huffman]

It sounds likely.  I've seen them labelled "paradise seeds"
and "paradise grains" in home brew shops.  A couple of
winters ago they were the latest fad/discovery in brewing
circles here in the Northwest (or so I was told by the guy
in the shop).  They're about 1/16 inch or 2 mm. in diameter
and slightly boxy in shape (i.e. not perfectly spherical),
and a very dark reddish brown that would look black in some
kinds of light.
