The coast of the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, near present-day Liberia and Sierra Leone. European navigators who came to this coast from around the 15th and 16th centuries gave it the name Malagueta Pepper because it was actively traded here. Since pepper was called the "grain of paradise," this coast was also called the Grain Coast.

西アフリカのギニア湾岸、今日のリベリア、シエラレオネ付近の沿岸。15~16世紀ごろからこの沿岸に渡来していたヨーロッパ人航海者たちは、この海岸でマラゲッタ・コショウが盛んに取引されていたことからこの名称をつけた。コショウは「楽園の穀物」とよばれていたことから、この海岸は穀物海岸Grain Coastともよばれた。 [原口武彦] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
