One of the dominant spices that tourists on a Travel to Kerala will often savor in almost all Kerala dishes is pepper. Pepper is rightly known as the ‘King of Spices’. One of the earliest spices known, pepper is probably the most widely used spice in the world today. Kerala has always reigned supreme in the production and export of this most exotic and sought-after spice.
Kerala’s pepper reached Europe through Arab traders who held a monopoly over its trade. Europe in the middle ages saw the enormous potential of pepper as a food preservative and eagerly sought to control its trade. The potential profits by trading in pepper were to lead to the earliest colonial conquests and wars.
One will often come across pepper plantations during the course of Travel to Kerala. Easily the finest in quality anywhere, Kerala’s pepper is grown along the low lands and high ranges of Kerala. A combination of natural advantages and organic techniques produces bigger, better-shaped, more aromatic and flavored pepper. The ‘Malabar Garbled’ and the ‘Tellichery Extra Bold’ are some of the famous Keralite varieties of pepper. Stem cutting propagates pepper.
Pepper is a perennial climber requiring the support of live or dead trees. It has a limited usage in medicine as a carminative and as a stimulant of gastric secretions. |
