Your secret ingredient shop.

Grains of Paradise was born from years of wandering through food markets around the world and discovering how deeply scent, flavor, and memory are intertwined. How the breath of a new place ignites us, how taste transports us and simple conversations move us.

After nearly two decades of travel, we planted roots in Catskill, where this little shop quilts together everything we’ve learned along the way — the warmth of shared meals, the beauty of rare ingredients, and the joy of cooking without perfection or expectation. Our shelves are filled with pure spices, regional pantry staples, finishing salts, infused oils, vinegars, and the essential ingredients that bring poetry into everyday cooking.

At Grains of Paradise, we honor the hands and cultures behind every spice, and we invite you to discover a world of flavor alongside us — one jar, one taste, one story at a time.
