Known as Ataare among the Yoruba people, guinea pepper has been used for centuries to spice up native dishes and add power to spiritual work. It comes in the form of brown pods that hold the tiny dark brown seeds that can be eaten alone or added to the ritual works of Ifa. Ataare is a powerful ase and is thought to bring power to Orisa's words and spiritual energy.
It can be purchased as pods or as loose pepper kernels.
