Ausha Organic Salted Tellicherry Black Peppercorns - 100g

The premium variety of Black Pepper

Tellicherry peppercorns are a type of high-quality black pepper that comes from the Malabar Coast of India, in the state of Kerala. These peppercorns are considered some of the finest and most sought-after in the world. Tellicherry peppercorns are larger than average black peppercorns. They are left on the vine longer, allowing them to grow larger and develop a more robust flavor. They are known for their complex flavor profile - a bold and aromatic taste with a distinct citrusy and fruity note. The flavor is often described as well-rounded and pungent.

Tellicherry peppercorns are commonly used in cooking and are prized by chefs for their ability to add depth and complexity to dishes. They are suitable for use in both savory and sweet recipes. To fully appreciate the flavor of Tellicherry peppercorns, it's recommended to grind them just before use. This helps preserve the essential oils and volatile compounds that contribute to their unique taste.

Black peppercorns are an important healthy food owing to its antioxidant, antimicrobial potential and gastro-protective modules. Black Pepper also enhances the absorption rate of Turmeric in the body when consumed together.

Usage

Peppercorns are versatile and can be used in various ways to add flavor and depth to your dishes. Here are some common methods for using peppercorns:

Ground Pepper: The most common way to use peppercorns is to grind them into pepper powder using a pepper mill or grinder. This freshly ground pepper has a more vibrant flavor than pre-ground pepper.

Whole Peppercorns: Add whole peppercorns to soups, stews, and sauces. They release their flavor slowly, infusing the dish with a mild, peppery taste. You can remove them before serving if you don't want to bite into them.

Pepper infused Oils and Vinegars: Create flavored oils or vinegars by adding whole peppercorns to them. Allow the peppercorns to steep in the liquid for a week or two to infuse the flavor. Use the infused oil or vinegar in salad dressings or for drizzling over dishes.

Pepper Crusts: Crush or grind peppercorns and press them onto the surface of meats like steak or fish to create a pepper crust. This adds a bold flavor and texture to the dish.

Pickling: Add whole peppercorns to pickling brines for vegetables or fruits. They contribute a subtle spiciness to the pickled items.

Marinades: Include ground or crushed peppercorns in marinades for meats. The pepper will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.

Baking: In some baked goods, a pinch of freshly ground black pepper can enhance the flavors. This is often used in recipes like gingerbread or chocolate desserts.

At the Table: Provide a pepper grinder on the dining table for individuals to season their dishes to taste.

Beverages: Some cocktails and mocktails benefit from a hint of black pepper for added depth. Experiment with adding a few freshly ground peppercorns to drinks.

Homemade Spice Blends: Mix ground peppercorns with other spices to create your own custom spice blends for rubs, marinades, or seasoning mixes.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep sealed to retain flavour and freshness
