Organic Whole Black Peppercorns - 100g

Pass the pepper please! The peppercorn plant is native to tropical evergreen rain forest of South Indian state, Kerala, from where it spread to rest of the world. Peppercorns grow on a tall vine and are available in a number of different colours and flavours depending on their ripeness when picked and processed. Black Pepper is actually harvested green before ripening, then dried where the skin darkens in colour. Black pepper has a full-bodied, woody flavour with a spicy heat. It adds a wonderful warm and well-rounded note when freshly ground onto food.
