Grains of paradise, Siamese ginger, and tamarind are some of Suriname's finest spices. Grains of paradise [Aframomum melegueta] have a taste and fragrance similar to a cardamom with ginger. It's featured in dishes of West African origin.

Siamese ginger [Alpinia galanga] has a distinct fragrance that's more aromatic than ginger and with a hot peppery flavor. It adds spice to fish and shellfish recipes. It gives the distinctive taste to 'nasi goreng' [fried rice], a favorite dish of Indonesian origin.

Tamarind [Tamarindus indica] darkens the coloring of a dish. It adds tartness to chutney, curries, and meat sauces.
