This Malwatte jar holds citrus peel powder: dried citrus peel ground to a fine, pale yellow powder. It gives a citrus note to food without the need to zest fresh fruit, and it keeps in the cupboard.
Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC grows, processes and packs much of its produce on its own plantations and in its own factories, and also buys from smallholder farmers. It has grown spices since the early 2010s and runs a spice processing factory.
