Alligator Pepper

Bring the bold, authentic flavors of West Africa straight to your kitchen. Also known as Hepper pepper or Mbongo spice, Alligator Pepper is a rare and highly prized spice known for its fiery kick and complex, aromatic undertones of citrus and earth. Named for the bumpy, alligator-like texture of its outer pod, opening one reveals a treasure trove of small, pungent seeds that deliver a warm, lingering heat similar to black pepper but with a much deeper, more exotic flavor profile.
