Graine épicée et aromatique aux racines anciennes
Noms communs : Grains de paradis, Poivre de Guinée, Poivre alligator

Origine : Afrique de l'Ouest
La maniguette ( Aframomum melegueta ) est une plante vivace originaire d'Afrique de l'Ouest, prisée pour ses graines aromatiques et poivrées utilisées comme épice depuis des siècles. Ces graines, issues de petites gousses brun rougeâtre, sont souvent comparées au poivre noir, mais avec des notes plus complexes, chaudes, citronnées et florales. Autrefois très recherchée en Europe au Moyen Âge, la maniguette a récemment gagné en popularité dans la cuisine moderne, notamment dans les brasseries artisanales et la gastronomie. Outre ses usages culinaires, la maniguette est également appréciée en médecine traditionnelle pour ses propriétés anti-inflammatoires et digestives.
Caractéristiques distinctives, utilisations et valeur nutritionnelle
Graines : Les graines de maniguette sont petites, brunes et poivrées, avec une saveur épicée et subtile mêlant des notes de cardamome, d’agrumes et d’épices chaudes. Elles sont utilisées comme épice dans de nombreux plats, notamment dans les cuisines d’Afrique de l’Ouest, d’Afrique du Nord et du Moyen-Orient. Riches en huiles essentielles et en antioxydants, elles contribuent à leur saveur unique et à leurs bienfaits potentiels pour la santé.
Feuillage et fleurs : La plante présente des feuilles vertes luxuriantes en forme de lance et produit de petites et belles fleurs suivies de gousses de graines brun rougeâtre.
Mode de croissance : L’Aframomum melegueta est une plante herbacée vivace qui atteint une hauteur de 1,2 à 1,8 mètre, avec un port étalé semblable à celui des autres membres de la famille du gingembre.
Utilisations culinaires et médicinales
Les graines de maniguette sont couramment utilisées pour apporter chaleur et saveur aux plats salés, comme les ragoûts, les currys et les soupes. Elles sont également employées en pâtisserie, où leur arôme citronné et poivré rehausse les associations sucrées-salées. Appréciées pour leur subtile complexité, elles sont très prisées dans la fabrication de bières artisanales et de spiritueux. En médecine traditionnelle, on leur attribue des vertus digestives, anti-inflammatoires et apaisantes pour les troubles gastro-intestinaux.

Let customers speak for us
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
lovely olive jar, attractive to keep on display. And useful too.
Fast delivery . Product exactly matches description. Easy to contact with same day replies. We will use them again.
Great job from growing to shipping
Quality was excellent. Perfect for my Dad’s grave site, honoring a proud Marine.
Appreciate the extra effort to get the product to me when needed. The delivery was made with speed and consideration, very much appreciated
