Paradise salami is made with grains of paradise. I bought them here:

https://www.thespicehouse.com/grains-of-paradise

That website has a nice description of them and of their taste. I both crushed and left whole the grains of paradise. They are smaller than peppercorns and are white inside. I made this salami quite simple to get a good sense of what they bring to sausage (they have have been used for sausage making in the past, though I haven't seen them called for). You can also read about grains of paradise here:

And here:

In a salami the grains of paradise are only notable when you catch a whole one and release the taste. They are more pleasant in that way then a whole peppercorn to me. If I use them again, I would increase the amount of whole ones and use ground pepper with them. It is terrific with cheese and crackers.
