Message definition (African cuisine)
Seeds of Guinea pepper ([[Aframomum melegueta]], also called grains of paradise or melegueta pepper), a native [[West African]] plant, were used as a spice and even reached Europe, through North African middlemen, during the Middle Ages. Centuries before the influence of the Europeans, [[West Africa]]ns were trading with the [[Arab world]] and spices like [[cinnamon]], [[clove]]s, and [[Mentha|mint]] were not unknown, therefore becoming part of the local flavorings. Centuries later, the Portuguese, French and British influenced the regional cuisines, but only to a limited extent.
