Eastern Black Pepper Powder 100g

Eastern Black Pepper Powder (100g) is a highly popular choice, particularly in South India, known for its strong, authentic “Kerala pepper” flavor. Eastern is famous for sourcing its peppercorns directly from the hills of the Western Ghats, ensuring high pungency and a fresh aroma.

The MRP for the 100g pack is typically ₹180, but the competitive market often sees it retailing for much less.

What Makes Eastern Different?

• The Sourcing Advantage: Eastern’s headquarters are in Kerala, the “Spice Garden of India.” This proximity to the source means the peppercorns are often processed closer to harvest, preserving more of their natural oils and heat.

• Flavour Profile: It is known for a sharp, biting heat that lingers. While some brands are milder, Eastern is preferred by those who want a true spicy “kick” in their pepper.

• Granularity: It is ground to a consistent fine powder, making it perfect for marinations, white gravies, and traditional South Indian dishes like Pepper Chicken or Rasam.

Usage Tips

• In Traditional Cooking: Use this to make an authentic Kerala Pepper Fry. Because it is quite potent, you may need about 20% less powder compared to other local brands.

• As a Health Supplement: Mix a pinch of Eastern Black Pepper with honey and ginger juice to soothe a sore throat—a common home remedy using this specific brand due to its high purity.

• Storage: Black pepper is highly volatile. To keep the “sneezing-fresh” aroma, transfer the contents of the pouch to an airtight glass bottle as soon as you open it.
