Crushed green pepper

What it is / Product description

Green quality pepper from Biova offers a fresh, herbaceous heat and a naturally green color that visibly accentuates dishes. The coarsely cracked berries from Sri Lanka are gently dried and then granulated. This creates an intensely aromatic spice that is ideal for professional kitchens and ambitious home cooks.

Due to direct dehydration after harvest, the berries do not ferment and retain their clear, unadulterated flavor. The coarse grain ensures an even distribution in the dish and distinctive pepper points when bitten. As a conventional bulk product and discontinued item in the Biova range, this spice is particularly interesting for gastronomy, manufacturers and the food industry.

In the kitchen, green pepper can be used in many ways – from classic pepper sauces and meat and fish dishes to fruity desserts. The cracked, granulated form is ready to use and saves the grinding process in the mill. This allows the spice to integrate effortlessly into professional workflows and creative everyday cooking with green pepper.

Origin

The pepper plants grow in the central highlands of Sri Lanka on small, mostly family-run plantations. Tropical climate, high humidity and nutrient-rich soils create ideal conditions for aromatic green pepper berries in consistent Biova quality.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The berries are still harvested by hand while green and unripe, when their aroma is particularly fresh and vegetal. Immediately after picking, they are gently dehydrated to prevent fermentation and blackening. The dried berries are then coarsely cracked, creating a granulated, easy-to-mix grain size.

Special features

In contrast to green pepper preserved in brine, this dry variant retains its natural intrinsic flavor in full. The combination of coarse structure, bright heat, green color and bulk packaging makes the product ideal for spice blends, decorative applications and larger consumption volumes.

Differences in origin and processing

Green pepper from Sri Lanka is known for its fresh, slightly fruity and herbaceous aroma, which sets it apart from the more robust qualities of other growing regions. Immediate dehydration directly after harvest prevents fermentation into black pepper and preserves the green color as well as the milder, clearly structured pepper profile.

Taste & aroma

Sensorially, the spice presents a bright, pleasant heat with vegetal, slightly fruity notes. Its aroma is expressive without being overpowering and combines well with herbs and other spices. The coarse grain provides small, clearly perceptible pepper accents when eating.
