Description
Our 30-mesh black pepper stands out as the finest shake option we offer. Beyond its culinary applications, finely ground black pepper surprises as an old-fashioned laundry additive. The plant’s “berries” contain a significant amount of piperine, a compound believed to prevent color loss in clothing when included in the wash. For a standard load, consider using 1-2 tablespoons.
Please note: The term “mesh” pertains to the coarseness of ground pepper, ranging from fine shake to large granules. This measurement reflects the size of the holes in the mesh screen through which the spice is ground. A higher mesh number indicates a finer pepper. Conversely, a mesh of 12 suggests a grind between coarse and cracked.
