How to use

Black pepper, the “King of Spices”, is included in pretty much every savoury meal that we make, which is no surprise when you consider that it’s the most popular spice here in the UK and the US (with cinnamon coming a close second!).
This spice is native to India and is obtained from a flowering vine from the Piperaceae family. There are a number of different types of pepper, including black, white and green.

Where am I From?
Our Organic Black Peppercorns are grown in the Kerala region, known as "India's Spice Garden". Our producer works with small artisan farmers throughout the growing process to make farming a viable option, including education in sustainable organic farming methods, making a marked difference in the lives of these Indian farmers. 
 
Why Fair Trade?
With your help, we’re making a difference to the lives of those who produce our Black Peppercorns.
In this area, these Fair Trade premiums are used for ongoing education in new farming techniques, including cultivation, processing and storage, all of which helps reduce waste and increase crop yield. Fair Trade contributions are also providing solar lamps, to enable students to continue their studies during power cuts and so avoid damage to their eyes from reading in a poor light.

Hi Margaret, I honestly think I'd be lost if I didn't have this to use for seasoning! They have a great taste and the fact that they're organic and Fair Trade too is a bonus. Petrina
