Green freeze-dried pepper and its botany

How is Green freeze-dried pepper made?

Green freeze-dried pepper originates from Madagascar. This perfectly round and wrinkle-free green pepper is harvested before reaching maturity. The fresh grains of green pepper are placed in brine (a mixture of water and salt) in Madagascar and then transported to Europe for freeze-drying (dehydration and freezing under vacuum).

This process sets it apart from dehydrated green pepper, which is placed in a very high-temperature oven just after harvesting.

Botanical origin of Green freeze-dried pepper

Green freeze-dried pepper belongs to the Piper nigrum family, a vine that grows on a support and can reach a height of up to 4 meters. Green pepper is harvested before maturity, giving it fresh and lemony notes. It is then preserved in freeze-dried form like this one, or dehydrated or brined.

Like all Piper nigrum varieties, this pepper requires a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity.

History of Green freeze-dried pepper from Madagascar

At the origins of Green freeze-dried pepper

Frenchman Émile Prudhomme introduced pepper cultivation to Madagascar in the early 20th century after a mission to Java. As the Director of the National Institute of Colonial Agronomy, he wrote in 1899, "Serious attempts to cultivate the pepper vine in Madagascar have not yet been made, but there is reason to believe in the success of this vine along most of the East Coast."

It was initially introduced on Nosy-Be, an island off the northwest coast of Madagascar, before gradually expanding in the Sambirano region of Madagascar.

Green freeze-dried pepper is available in the custom-made set dedicated to peppers from around the world.
