peppercorns
|
Today, pepper is such a popular and common spice that many people do not realize
the importance that it has had in world history. There was a time when
pepper was so rare that it had the value that we now give to gold. In
fact, during the middle ages, pepper was often treated as a currency to pay
rent, taxes or dowries.
Although other spices encouraged exploration of new trade routes, none had the
importance of pepper. It was the search for less expensive ways to get
pepper out of Asia that drove explorers around the Cape of Good Hope at the
southern tip of Africa and eventually west across the Atlantic.
We are proud to offer a complete line of pepper products including a variety of
whole peppercorns,
peppercorn blends, and
flavored peppercorns as well as
ground peppers and blends.
