### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We Like-A The Spice

Wonderful!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Complex flavor
*by W***Y on August 22, 2025*

Peppery, citrusy, floral, strong flavored spice. A little goes a long way with using in a spice mix, there’s a tiny amount of stems/other plant material that isn’t the seeds themselves in the bottle also, but most of it is so lightweight that I’m pretty sure it’s negligible for the total weight labeled. I measure out what I’m going to use and then pour it out on a flat surface so I can pick out stems w/tweezers before adding into the rest of the spice mix I’m making for grinding.
