Black Pepper Whole
About this product
Whole black peppercorns, sold as corns rather than powder for one reason: pepper loses its punch within weeks of being ground. The heat and aroma sit in volatile oils that start escaping the moment the corn is broken.
Grind it as you need it and the difference is not subtle.
What is in the jar

How to use it

- Crack coarsely for marinades and rubs
- Steep whole in kadha and masala chai
Storage
Airtight, cool and dark. Whole pepper keeps its strength for well over a year; ground pepper does not.
How long does it keep once opened?
Sealed and kept somewhere cool and dry, several months. Once opened, close the jar firmly straight after every use. Freeze-dried food pulls moisture out of ordinary air quickly, and once it softens the crispness does not come back.
Is this the same as dehydrated or sun-dried?
No. Dehydrated usually means hot-air dried at 60 to 80 degrees, which darkens the food, drives off the aroma and leaves it chewy. Freeze-drying applies no heat at all — the food is frozen, then the ice is drawn off under vacuum. The colour, aroma and structure survive.
Has any sugar or preservative been added?
No. Nothing has been added to this product beyond what is stated on the label. Removing the water is what preserves it, so no chemical preservative is needed. Any sweetness you taste came with the food itself.
Do I need to refrigerate it?
No. Store it at room temperature in a sealed jar, away from direct sun and away from steam. A cupboard is ideal. Do not keep it beside the stove or the sink.
How do I rehydrate it?
Cover with warm water and leave for five to ten minutes, depending on how thick the pieces are. Vegetables can also go straight into anything with enough liquid — soups, dals and curries — and will rehydrate as it cooks.
