Wars were fought and trade routes established over this tiny fruit from the \u003cem\u003epiper nigrum\u003c\/em\u003e plant. Peppercorns were once as valuable as gold, and in fact were used as currency at various points throughout history. When the Visigoths captured Rome in 410 A.D. they demanded 3000 pounds of peppercorns as ransom! Obviously peppercorns are not nearly as valuable today as they once were, but they are just as important. Try to imagine cooking and eating without pepper. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell several different types of peppercorns. Black, green, and white peppercorns are all from the \u003cem\u003epiper nigrum\u003c\/em\u003e plant. The different colours and flavours of these three peppercorns are caused by the maturity of the peppercorns when they are picked and the way they are processed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as offering different colours of peppercorns, we offer several different types of whole black peppercorns. Our standard black peppercorns, the type you can find on almost every table in the country, come variously from India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. Tellicherry black peppercorns, also from India, are our highest grade of peppercorn. They are large and fragrant, with a delicate spiciness and distinctive lemony brightness. Indonesian Lampong black peppercorns are smaller and have a unique fruity flavour with intense heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink peppercorns are not from the same pepper vine that the others are. They are the fruit of the Brazilian pepper tree, so are not actually peppercorns at all. However, they are used in a similar way and are common in pepper blends, so we have included them here. Pink peppercorns are not to be confused with true red peppercorns, which are the fully ripe fruit of the \u003cem\u003epiper nigrum\u003c\/em\u003e plant. These peppercorns are rare and fragile, and are not usually seen outside of pepper growing regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSzechuan peppercorns are used in Asian cooking and are also not true peppercorns. They are from a Chinese variety of the prickly Ash tree, and have a lemony and slightly numbing spicy flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also include here several spices that are related to pepper, either in flavour, or in how and when they are used, plus pepper-heavy blends.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-03-26T14:45:32-06:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Pepper"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2018-03-26T14:46:34-06:00","alt":"","width":1600,"height":1600,"src":"\/\/silkroadspices.ca\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Peppercorns_collection.jpg?v=1522097194"}},{"id":33979826242,"handle":"spice-blends","title":"Spice Blends","updated_at":"2024-10-10T00:45:00-06:00","body_html":"","published_at":"2018-03-24T06:46:49-06:00","sort_order":"alpha-asc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Spice Blends"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2018-03-26T14:30:46-06:00","alt":"","width":564,"height":564,"src":"\/\/silkroadspices.ca\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Ras_el_Hanout_Blend.jpg?v=1522096246"}}]

This blend of cracked black pepper, minced onion and garlic, allspice, rosemary, red chile flakes and Greek sea salt is bound to become a big customer favourite. You could call it seasoned pepper, garlic pepper or herb pepper, all of which are popular blends people ask for. But we think our Seasoned Pepper Blend beats anything else out there. It’s peppery, a tiny bit spicy, garlicky and good on everything.
There are two primary ways to use this blend. Put it in a pepper mill and grind it onto eggs, potatoes, pastas or anywhere you’d use regular black pepper. It’s also excellent as a coarse butcher rub for roast beef or pepper steak. As for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth ways of using it, we’ll wait for you to tell us.
Ingredients: black pepper, garlic, onion, sea salt, allspice, chiles, rosemary.
