Nina Red Wesa Alligator Pepper Seeds
$5.00
Description
Nina Red Wesa Alligator Pepper Seeds feature whole pods of Aframomum species—commonly A. danielli or A. citratum. Revered in West and Central African cuisines, this spice is celebrated for its aromatic potency and complex flavor—combining hints of citrus, ginger, cardamom, and black.
Often used at naming ceremonies, cultural receptions, and festive meals, alligator pepper has symbolic significance in Yoruba and Igbo traditions—frequently paired with kola nuts in greeting rituals. In cooking, it’s typically lightly crushed or pounded and added to soups, stews, rice dishes, and teas to impart bold heat and fragrant aroma.
Though potent, just one pod can elevate a dish. Due to its rich flavor and nutritional compounds—like antioxidants, essential oils, and minerals—it’s used medicinally in small doses across traditional wellness practices.
