Harvesting

Organic Black Peppercorns are typically harvested from the flowering vine Piper nigrum, which is native to India. The peppercorns are grown in tropical climates, including regions in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The vines are trained to climb up trellises or trees, and the peppercorns are harvested when they reach full maturity, usually around seven to nine months after flowering.

The peppercorns are initially green when harvested and then left to dry in the sun, which causes them to shrivel and turn a dark shade of brown or black. This drying process also enhances the peppercorns' pungent flavour and aroma. Organic Black Peppercorns are rich in piperine, which gives them their characteristic spicy taste. As a natural raw product, Organic Black Peppercorns contain essential oils, antioxidants, and trace elements. They are also a good source of manganese, vitamin K, iron, and dietary fibre. These nutrients contribute to the peppercorns' potential health benefits, including improved digestion and antioxidant properties.

The organic nature of Organic Black Peppercorns means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Black Peppercorns in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality.
