🌿 How I'm Grown
I grow on hillsides like a spicy little Tarzan, climbing up tall trees in the lush forests of Idukki, Kerala.
- Altitude: 800–1400 meters
- Rainfall: 2000–3000 mm
- Shade-grown: I chill under big trees
- Sun-dried: Like a beach holiday
🍳 What I'm Used For
From your grandma’s curry to pasta — I’m there. I add kick, warmth, and a whisper of citrus.
- Whole: In biryanis, stews, and broths
- Crushed: Over eggs or fries
- Ground: Rub on meats, mix in masalas
📦 My Journey
I started as a green berry on a vine, ripened under the Idukki sun, dried, and hand-packed just for you.
It’s not farm-to-table. It’s forest-to-flavour explosion.
📜 Pepper Through Time
I’ve been famous for centuries. Roman emperors wanted me. I was worth more than gold once!
- Used in Ayurveda
- Once currency (yes, seriously)
- Traded in Kerala for 2000+ years
👃 What I Taste Like
I’m not just heat — I’ve got character. Sharp bite, woody warmth, citrus and pine.
Freshly cracked? I'm a spice concert for your mouth.
🏠 How to Store Me Right
Don’t leave me open or near the stove. I like cool, dark places and air-tight jars.
- Do: Use jars, keep me dry
- Don’t: Let me sweat near heat
- Pro Tip: Grind fresh always
