Product description
Ceylon black pepper, also known as *Piper nigrum*, is a variety of black pepper that is primarily grown in Sri Lanka, which was historically known as Ceylon. This pepper is renowned for its high quality and distinct flavor profile. It is characterized by its sharp, pungent heat and a complex aroma with hints of citrus, floral, and earthy notes.
Ceylon black pepper is grown in tropical climates, with the ideal conditions found in Sri Lanka’s coastal regions. The peppercorns are hand-harvested when fully ripe and then dried, typically in the sun, to preserve their flavor and aroma. The result is a vibrant, aromatic pepper that is highly prized in culinary applications around the world.
Apart from its culinary uses, Ceylon black pepper is also recognized for its health benefits. It contains piperine, a compound that has been studied for its antioxidant properties, ability to aid digestion, and potential to enhance the absorption of nutrients.
This variety of pepper is often considered superior to other types due to its rich flavor, less pungent aftertaste, and higher essential oil content. It is widely used in both cooking and as a spice in various dishes, particularly in Sri Lankan and South Asian cuisines.
