Pepper

Pepper is the world's most traded spice and, after turmeric, the most used in Persian cooking. This section covers both true pepper from the Piper nigrum vine and the chilli peppers of the Capsicum family, from mild and sweet to fiercely hot.

What Mojtahedi offers

• Black pepper - whole peppercorns and freshly ground powder
• Red chilli - hot ground chilli for stews, kebab marinades and pickles
• Pul biber - coarse red pepper flakes, mildly hot, for sprinkling over kebabs and salads
• Paprika - sweet, bright red powder for colour and gentle flavour

All peppers are cleaned and packed pure in sealed bags. Add black pepper at the start of cooking with turmeric, and finish dishes with chilli, pul biber or paprika to taste.
