Omega Black Pepper Powder: finely ground pepper for soups, gravies, rubs and everyday seasoning. Single 1 kg pack.
Black pepper powder is finely ground peppercorns that blend evenly into food without visible specks of coarse pepper. It suits soups, gravies, mashed potatoes, sauces, spice rubs and batters, and is the everyday seasoning for eggs and sandwiches. Indian cooks add it to rasam, pepper chicken and chaat masala blends. Because fine powder loses aroma faster, store it tightly closed and taste before adding more, as the heat builds in long-simmered dishes. Pepper comes from the fruit of the Piper nigrum vine, harvested and dried before grinding. Fine powder has a large surface area and goes flat within months, so keep it in a lidded container away from steam rising from cooking pots. For pale sauces where dark specks are unwanted, many chefs switch to white pepper instead, keeping this black powder for gravies, rubs and robust dishes.
