Pepper powder: fine ground black pepper (Piper nigrum L) in a 100 gms pack, with a 1 kg size for bulk orders. Highly aromatic, it carries the sharp, hot and biting taste of a warming spice. The powder is widely accepted for its superb flavour and bite, and it is made with quality kept consistent, since flavour is everything to its customers. Across North India pepper adds warmth and pungency to vegetarian dishes, while in South India it serves as a flavouring spice and a base for meat marinades. Among the oldest and important spices in the world, pepper was once used to pay taxes in Egypt and Israel; in 410 A.D. Rome demanded 3000 pounds of it as ransom. Family: Piperaceae.
