Terre Exotique Malabar Black Pepper Whole 70g

From the Malabar coast, the cradle of many a spice, this black pepper releases roasted sweet notes to enhance scallops, squashes, carrots and desserts.

Pepper cultivation originated from the Malabar coast in India. Pepper has always been at the source of many discoveries. Traces of Malabar pepper have even been found in the mummification of Ramsès II.

The first pepper plants are indigenous to the state of Kerala. They were then introduced over time to various other countries: Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brazil, Madagascar and most recently Cameroon in the 1930's.

Harvested when fully ripened, this very fresh pepper will enliven red meat, sweet and sour dishes, or a vegetable tart.
