Pepper
Considered one of the most important spices since the beginning of known history, Pepper trade controls nearly 20% of the global spice market today, and Sri Lankan Pepper exporters have the potential to expand into a market that is as lucrative as gold.
Pepper has been in global use since the fourth century BC mainly among the Eastern civilizations and the most ancient archaeological record of pepper has emerged from the tomb of Ramases II, inserted into the nostrils of mummified Pharaoh during mummification.
Although its cultivation has always been limited to a number of countries in South Asia, Pepper has been one of the most prized spices in Europe.
Pepper Trading was carried out by the traders from India's Malabar region, who purchased pepper stocks from the South Indian and Sri Lankan pepper manufacturers and transported them to the buyers in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa through land routes.
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!
Description : Popularly used in French and Chinese cuisines, white pepper (Piper nigrum) is quite different from the black version. Although they are both locally sourced from the same plant, the way in they are processed, differ from each other. Black pepper is dried in its almost-ripe form till the outer skin blackens and this contributes to the pungent heat that it exudes. However, white pepper is dried once fully ripened and then allowed to ferment after the outer layer has been removed. This reduces its heaty properties but contributes to forming complex undertones that impart a floral, earthy aroma to the food it is added to.
White pepper is also renowned for its healing properties, especially in preventing colon cancer and battling skin conditions like Vitiligo.
Whole black pepper shall be the dried whole corns or berries of piper nigrum linn, brown to black in colour with deep set wrinkles, solid on the berry used whole or grind with its real taste for curry powder in srilanka
Black pepper is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit, known as a peppercorn, which is usually dried and used as a spice and seasoning. The fruit is drupe which, when fresh and fully mature, is about 5 mm in diameter, dark red, and contains a stone which encloses a single pepper seed
Pepper is largely produced as black pepper which is the dried whole fruit. White pepper is produced by removing the outer pericarp and pepper is also available in crushed and ground forms. A small amount of green and ripened pepper is pickled in brine and dehydrated green pepper and preserved red pepper is also traded. Pepper oil and oleoresins are also extracted marketed as value-added products.
