They are the defining spice of authentic West African Pepper Soup — irreplaceable, unforgettable, and impossible to substitute.

How to Use

🍲 For Pepper Soup: Grind 2–3 Jansa Seeds using a spice grinder, mortar and pestle, or blender. Add the ground spice to your Pepper Soup base along with your other pepper soup spices. The seeds release their full aromatic complexity when freshly ground — the fresher the grind, the more intense the flavour

🌿 Whole seeds: Add 2–3 whole seeds directly to soups and stews during cooking — they slowly release their flavour throughout the cooking process. Remove before serving or leave in for guests to find

Classic Pepper Soup Spice Combination: Jansa Seeds + Uda (Negro Pepper) + Uziza Seeds + Prekese + Alligator Pepper = the foundation of authentic West African Pepper Soup

Pairs perfectly with: Goat Meat Pepper Soup | Fish Pepper Soup | Chicken Pepper Soup | Cow Foot Pepper Soup | Oxtail Pepper Soup | Palm Nut Soup | Ofe Akwu
