Black peppercorns cracked into coarse pieces, packed by Malwatte in a 45g glass shaker bottle. Cracked pepper sits between whole corns and fine powder, giving visible flecks and bursts of heat without a grinder.
Black pepper is the dried, unripe berry of the Piper nigrum vine. Malwatte Valley Plantations began growing pepper in 2011 and processes spices in its own factory; the maker says the International Pepper Community named it Sri Lanka's largest pepper grower in 2016.
In the pack
- 45g cracked black pepper
- Glass shaker jar with a black screw cap
In the kitchen
Shake it over fried eggs, salads, avocado toast and buttered vegetables, press it onto steak or tuna before searing, or stir it into pepper sauces and Sri Lankan pepper chicken. The shaker cap makes it easy to use straight at the table.
Storage
Keep the cap tightly closed and store the jar in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Malwatte is the food brand of Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC of Colombo, a Sri Lankan grower, manufacturer and exporter of tea and spices.
