Our Ground Cameroon pepper is fiery and packed with an abundance of flavour, finely blended with the classic reddish black colour and has no preservatives or mixture.

Cameroon pepper has an active component called piperine that gives its characteristic taste. Piperine is the active ingredient in black pepper and it is responsible for a lot of its effects. It is what gives pepper its spicy, pungent taste.
