Sarawak Pepper

By admin • May 28th, 2009

The Pepper seed is considered the “King of Spices”. There is the black pepper and the white pepper. Pepper is generally used to enhance the flavour of any food. The black pepper is usually used whole and the white pepper in its powder form. Many of our off-line  customers,  who are in the catering business,  buy pre-packed pepper powder for use in their soup and noodle preparations. Pepper is considered to have originated in India and brought to Malaysia and cuiltivated to thrive in Sarawak Malaysia during Rajah Brooke’s colonial era. Now pepper is one of Malaysia’s major commodity exports, and Sarawak is Malaysia’s largest producer of pepper. But did you know that “SARAWAK PEPPER” is an intellectual property of the Sarawak Pepper Board? As such Sarawak Pepper has achieved its own individuality and uniqueness and the name has gained legal protection.
