Pepper

Pepper has a sharp, hot, and biting taste. It’s a warming spice. It is one of the oldest and most important spices in the world. So important, that in ancient times it was used to pay taxes. In 410 A.D, when the Huns lay siege of Rome, 3000 pounds of pepper was demanded as ransom.

India holds a supreme position in the production of pepper. Two of its celebrated varieties are `Malabar Garbled’ and `Tellichery Extra Bold’. The finest Indian pepper is grown in the monsoon forests of the Malabar coast in Kerala.
