Pepre, also known as Ghanaian pepper seed (and commonly referred to as grains of Selim or negro pepper), is a traditional West African spice used in Ghanaian and Nigerian cooking. Small in size but powerful in flavor, Pepre delivers sharp heat and a warm, aromatic depth that transforms soups, stews, and herbal broths.

If you’re searching for Pepre near you or an authentic African pepper spice in New Jersey, Original Kaneshie Market in Parlin, NJ carries fresh Pepre available in-store and for nationwide shipping.
