Black pepper is native to Malabar, a region in the Western Coast of South India; today, this region belongs to the union state Kerala. Pepper reached South East Asia more than two thousand years ago and is grown in Malaysia and Indonesia since about that time. The most important producers are Vietnam, Brasil, Indonesia, India, Sarawak and Srilanka.
One of the oldest and best-known spices
in the world, pepper is indigenous to India and is rightly called the "King
of Spices". It is a perennial, climbing vine indigenous to the Malabar
Coast of India. The hotly pungent spice made from its berries is one of the
earliest spices known and is probably the most widely used spice in the
world today. Used in stocks, pickling and in medicinal uses, pepper is
primarily a universal table condiment used to flavor all types of cuisines
worldwide. Our company has consistently reigned supreme in the production
and export of this most exotic and sought-after spice.
Cultivation Zone :
Kerala accounts for 90% of India's pepper production. The other producers

Culinary Uses
Pepper tastes & smells best when ground directly on to food. For hot
food it is best to add pepper well towards the end of the cooking process,
this preserves the aroma. White pepper is used in white sauces rather than
black pepper, which would give the sauce a speckled appearance. Green
peppercorns can be mashed with garlic, cinnamon or to make a spiced butter
or with cream to make a fresh and attractive sauce for fish.
Attributed Medicinal Properties
Pepper stimulates the taste-buds causing reflex stimulation of gastric
secretions, improving digestion and treating gastro-intestinal upsets and
