Premium Kerala Black Pepper – The King of Spices – 50 g

Where it comes from

• Kerala — the vine is native to the Malabar coast
• Bold grade: the heavy, dense, well-filled berries, sorted from the light ones.

How to use it

• Grind fresh — pre-ground pepper loses its piperine and oils within weeks
• A crack at the end of a dish, not the start
• Haldi doodh, kadha, rasam, eggs

Test it yourself

• Drop a spoonful in water
• Dense peppercorns sink. Light berries and papaya seed float.
