Quick Reference
What is it?: Wild black pepper gathered in Assam, northern India, an area better known internationally for tea.
Flavour: Aromatic and peppery with a distinctive wild-grown character.
Common uses: Fresh grinding, curries, meat dishes, vegetables and sauces.
Pairs well with: Lamb, lentils, tea-smoked dishes, ginger and garlic.
Compare with: More irregular and wild in character than plantation-grown black pepper.
Substitute: Malabar black peppercorns for a more familiar Indian profile.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam, moisture and direct light. Whole peppercorns retain their aroma longer than ground pepper; close the pack promptly after use.
Good to know: Its unusual shape and limited wild harvest distinguish it from standard cultivated Piper nigrum peppercorns.
