PEPPER
Pepper is
actually a curly-climbing vine best grown on a sloppy ground in tropical warm
climate. A 3.5-meter pole (usually “Belian” or iron wood) is erected to
support the vine which can lasts for as long as 15 years. It takes about one to
three years for it to grow to a height of about 3 meters. When it is matured,
flower spikes arise at most nodes opposite the leaves. Its flowers are mostly
self-pollinated. From there, pepper berries are produced, which when ripe are
either yellowish or reddish green in color. Harvesting is done
strictly by hand
so as not to injure the vine. The berries with black spots are usually spread
out in the sun to make black pepper while the ones that are (or almost) spotless
will be socked in the water pond or high-density plastic cylinder to rip off its
pericarps before drying briefly, to make white pepper. Both processes take about
almost a week before they are being graded.
Locals use black pepper for meat and
seafood and white pepper powder for vegetables and soup. Sarawak pepper has
gained international recognition by chefs and gourmets as one of the favorite
pepper
ingredients due to its distinctive flavor and taste perfected through
years of government funded agro-research. Today, with technology advances,
there’s more variance in pepper produces like pepper candies, pepper perfume
(you won’t sneeze), green pepper sauce and green pepper pickle.
We sell all sorts of pepper products. We also offer wholesale prices for orders in big quantities.
