What makes Idukki black pepper different from regular black pepper?
Idukki black pepper is grown in the high-altitude regions of the Western Ghats, Kerala. The unique soil, climate, and traditional farming methods result in peppercorns with strong aroma, sharp heat, and naturally high piperine, making them more flavourful than regular pepper.
Is this black pepper safe for daily cooking?
Yes. Fresh Roots Naturals Idukki black peppercorns are 100% natural and suitable for everyday culinary use when consumed in normal quantities as part of a balanced diet.
Is this pepper chemically treated or polished?
No. These peppercorns are hand-harvested, naturally sun-dried, and unpolished. They contain no added oils, chemicals, or artificial treatments, preserving their natural aroma and flavour.
How can I use Idukki black pepper in daily cooking?
You can use it in:
- Curries and gravies
- Soups and salads
- Eggs, pasta, and grilled dishes
- Teas, herbal drinks, and spice blends
For best results, crush or grind fresh just before use.
Does black pepper support digestion and nutrient absorption?
Black pepper has been traditionally used to support digestion and enhance the absorption of nutrients in food. It is commonly paired with turmeric in traditional recipes for this reason.
Where is this black pepper sourced from?
This black pepper is sourced directly from Idukki District in the Western Ghats of Kerala, India, a globally recognised region known for producing premium Malabar pepper.
How should I store black peppercorns to retain freshness?
Store peppercorns in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. This helps retain aroma and potency for longer.
