black peppercorns
|
Black pepper is a pungent spice made from the berries of a climbing vine native
to the Malabar Coast in southwest India. Pepper is one of the earliest
spices known and is probably the most widely used spice in the world today.
Historically, pepper was vital to trade between India and Europe. In
ancient Greece and Rome, pepper was so valuable that it was used as currency in
both trade and taxation.
In the Middle Ages, the virtual monopoly on the pepper trade held by Venice and
Genoa fueled the search for an eastern sea route and thus the discovery of the
Americas.
For an interesting taste sensation, add sliced strawberries to vanilla ice cream
and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper.
When storing herbs and spices packaging is an important consideration.
Plastic zip seal bags allow aroma and taste to escape and shorten the flavor
life of your herbs and spices.
We package our herbs and spices in food grade PET plastic jars. These
clear, dense jars allow you to see your herbs and spices while still sealing in
all the aroma and flavor so you get maximum life from your ingredients.
