Pepper Powder

What is HIPA Masala Pepper Powder?

Black Pepper, historically crowned as the 'King of Spices', is indigenous to the lush Western Ghats of Southern India and has been traded across the globe for thousands of years.

HIPA Masala Pepper Powder is milled from high-density, fully mature sun-dried black peppercorns. Selected for their rich piperine content and robust essential oil concentration, these peppercorns are gently crushed to achieve a medium-fine grind that releases explosive aroma upon contact with food.

Unlike pre-ground commercial powders that lose their punch, HIPA Pepper Powder delivers a sharp, clean peppery heat followed by complex piney and citrusy undertones that elevate morning eggs, comforting Ven Pongal, and fiery Chettinad gravies alike.
