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 India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The vines are trained to climb on support structures, and the peppercorns are harvested when they reach full maturity, usually in the late spring and early summer. The peppercorns are then dried to preserve their pungent flavour and dark colour. Once dried, they are ground into a fine powder, resulting in the familiar black pepper seasoning. The natural composition of black peppercorns includes piperine, which gives it its characteristic spicy taste, and essential oils that contribute to its aromatic qualities.

They are rich in antioxidants and have been used in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits. The deep, rich colour of the ground peppercorns adds a bold visual appeal to culinary dishes, making it a popular choice for seasoning and garnishing various cuisines.

The organic nature of Organic Ground 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.
