Pure Ground Mountain Pepperleaf

December 19, 2017 By

$9.00 (incl. GST)

Mountain Pepper (Tasmannia lanceolate) leaf  is a wonderful spice to add to your kitchen condiments. The leaf has a delightful hot pepper/chilli flavor that lingers as an aftertaste – we call it botanical heat !

This spice can be used in any dish savoury or sweet for a flavour boost. We add it to ground lemon myrtle leaf and use as a rub or marinade for roasting meats and vegetables. Add it to vinegrettes and sauces, curries, cheeses and oils. Try adding some to your favourite chocolate recipe – a great combination.

Mountain Pepper leaf is very high in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and lutein. For example, the leaf compared to blueberry has 9 times the antioxidants, 10 times the vitamin A, 12 times the calcium and 5 times the iron. The leaves are also highly antimicrobial and therefore could be beneficial to human health by assisting in keeping a healthy microbial balance in the human gut. (Ref: Weatherhead, J, Australian Native Food Harvest – a guide for the passionate cook and gardener, 2016)

 

Our Pure Ground Mountain Pepperleaf contains only pure mountain pepperleaf grown, hand-picked, and packaged with love at Peppermint Ridge Farm in west Gippsland, Victoria. We never use chemicals or additives and our products are 100% natural.
