Black Gold!


Wayanad pepper - the famous black gold of India. The most fragrant, flavoursome black pepper comes from the Wayanad District of Kerala. Just plucked, it needs to be threshed and sun dried. This year, the pepper crop is poor because of a failed monsoon and the subsequent drought. The smell of green pepper, when it is trampled and rubbed between the soles of your feet, to separate the corns, is quite enjoyable.
