Frequently Asked Questions
- What is special about stone-ground spices?
- Stone-grinding is well recognized as the method best able to bring out the best flavours while retaining essential nutrients of our spices. Pounding the spices releases the natural oils and distributes them uniformly throughout, creating a wonderfully aromatic and flavourful spice. Therefore, our stone-ground spices are a better alternative for your dishes.
- How freshly ground is the pepper that goes into the pouch/jar?
- Our farm-grown peppercorns are sourced directly from farmers. We store the peppercorns in hygienic storage, and they are ground as per the requirement. It is then securely packed, which keeps the aroma and freshness of our pepper intact.
- Do we use ground and whole pepper in the same way?
- Whole peppercorns are used in pickling, marinades, stocks, blends, pot roasts and soups. However, some people prefer freshly ground pepper and grind the peppercorns coarsely or finely as needed.
On the other hand, ground pepper is more flavorful and enhances the taste of any dish. In addition, they are convenient for seasoning to taste and blend quickly and smoothly into food. - What is the shelf life of the black pepper powder?
- If appropriately stored in glass containers, our black pepper powder can easily last up to 2 years.
- Is the pouch/jar glass or plastic?
- No, we at Anveshan believe in sustainable packaging. Therefore, our spices are available in glass jars and paper pouches that are eco-friendly. The jars are reusable and lock in the freshness of the spices.
For pouches, we recommend emptying them in jars as they contain essential oils. Storing it in pouches for a long time may lead to oil secretion, and pouches may become oily.
