Description : An organic spice that is farmed in Sri Lanka, pepper (Piper nigrum) is well-renowned worldwide for its strong aroma and unique taste. It’s one of those spices that caters to the Sri Lankan palette which is generally accustomed to spicy food. It’s what contributes to making our ‘Rice and Curry’ so special. Harvested from pepper vines, the tiny fruits in their almost-ripe state, are then dried to yield the spice in it’s black, spherical peppercorn form. These are consumed as is, or ground to a fine, black powder to be used for culinary purposes. The distinct qualities that pepper is known for, is attributed to Piperine, an alkaloid compound that is present in the spice. In fact, pepper is used as an excellent antibacterial agent especially when combined with organic turmeric (which contains Curcumin that is activated by the Piperine.) Pepper has also been known as “a girl’s best friend” apart from diamonds, not only because it was considered to be as valuable as gold back in the day, but also as a sturdy companion in the form of pepper spray!
