Uziza Seeds Ashanti Pepper 3.5oz
$5.00
Description
Uziza Seeds (Ashanti Pepper / Piper guineense) are aromatic peppercorn-like seeds traditionally used in West and Central African cuisine. Known for their peppery bite and herbal undertones, they elevate flavor in soups like pepper soup, Nsala, Ogbono, and other stews. Often toasted and freshly ground before use, uziza seeds add complexity and heat without overwhelming dishes.
Historically valued as both spice and medicinal herb, Piper guineense seeds are recognized for their role in digestion support, anti-inflammatory effects, and antioxidant benefits, thanks to compounds like piperine and beta-caryophyllene. They are typically used sparingly, as a small amount delivers robust flavor.
