HISTORY OF BANASURA PEPPER:

Banasura pepper is a type of pepper grown in the mountains of the Indian state of Kerala, India.

It is also known as "mountain pepper" or "wild black pepper" and is considered one of the rarest and most expensive peppers available on the market.

Banasura pepper is cultivated in the tropical forests of western India, where it is grown in a traditional and organic way.

It is grown on wild pepper trees that grow at high altitudes and are difficult to access.

It is used in local cuisine to give a spicy taste to dishes, but also in Ayurvedic medicine for its medicinal properties. It is believed to be rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and a digestive stimulant.

However, it has been used for centuries by local communities for its culinary and medicinal properties.

 

USAGE:

Banasura pepper is generally used to enhance meat dishes, fish, soups, and sauces.

It can also be used to flavor hot beverages such as coffee or tea. It can be used fresh or dried, ground or whole.

It is often used in combination with other spices to add flavor and depth to dishes.

It can be used to enhance fish dishes, soups, sauces, marinades, legume-based dishes, and vegetarian dishes.
