With its breathtaking beauty and ecological diversity, Kerala, located on the western coast of India, has earned the right to be referred to as God's Own Country. This southernmost state of India has been the world's hotspot for spices since ancient times. It is here that our white peppercorns originate, sourced directly from the farms of Mr. Kuruvilla. Known as the "King of Spices," white pepper is a universal condiment used to kick up the flavor of various cuisines. You can add it to soups and stews, the liquid used to poach seafood, meat, or poultry, or even fresh fruit compotes to impart a delicious warm spiciness.

Ingredients

Origin

Kerala, India

Some of the finest white peppercorns in the world come from Kerala. White peppercorns are tiny berries picked when ripe, soaked to soften the flesh that encases the whitish seeds, and then thoroughly dried. Here, Mr. Kuruvilla has been farming the land of Meppadi, a small town in the Wayanad District of Kerala, for more than 40 years. Employing sustainable farming methods, he cultivates a variety of spices (including white pepper) such as mace, nutmeg, black pepper, cloves, and cardamom. He also grows coffee beans and an array of exotic fruits such as mangosteen, passion fruit, and avocado.

Tips for Success

Grind or crack the peppercorns right before you use them like in a pepper grinder over a finished dish.
Refrain from toasting this spice as it will lose much of its fruity complexities.

FAQ

How old are these spices?

We purchase what we need every year right after the spices are harvested. These spices are as fresh as you can get. They are not sitting in a warehouse for multiple years. The oldest spices we carry will be one year old compared to the commodity market which warehouses spices for 10+ years before selling them to you.

Are these spices certified organic?

Unfortunately we do not have any certifications at this time but most of our spices are organically grown and all of them are non gmo. Each ingredient can be traced back to its origin. Email support@spicetribe.com for any questions.
