Indus Organics Malabar Black Pepper Powder (Dust, Fine Ground), Refill Bag, 1 Lb, Premium Grade, High Purity, Freshly Packed

Unfortunately, I have a hectic life & missed my return window by 10 days, so I will be eating the cost of this item & throwing it away. But, maybe through this review I can help others avoid the same.This “pepper” (?) is unlike any I’ve ever had before. I’m a pepper lover, and this is the worst pepper I’ve ever run across.First- when they describe it as “dust”, that is 100% accurate. That SHOULD have been a clue for me, but since I didn’t realize it could actually BE turned into dust, I assumed it was their way of describing- finely ground. Nope- it’s really really dust! All pepper can cause you to sneeze. This pepper dust causes you to cough! As the bite of food goes into your mouth, the particles can get sucked into your windpipe. This has happened multiple times & causes a coughing marathon.Second- is the flavor, make that LACK of flavor! There’s very little flavor & zero pungency at all, as in other pepper. So, in an effort to somehow achieve ‘flavor’- you douse your food with more than normal, hence the layer of coughing dust! 🙄And last- again because you have to use so much to find a bit of pepper FLAVOR, your food looks like a plate of dirt!!I do NOT recommend this product. I can’t return this now, but I’ll be very careful choosing another black pepper. I wanted a gourmet pepper, but I’m telling you even Walmart’s store brand far exceeds this in both texture and taste. So disappointed in this product and ticked off that I can’t get my money back! If it HAD been purchased at Walmart- at least I COULD get a store credit!! And no I don’t work for Walmart, just consumer comparison note.Best advice- choose a better product!!!

I use this for cooking and for making pill caps with (I mix it with turmeric at a 1 to 5 ratio to make turmeric pills for cheaper than buying such pills would be).Being such a fine powder, it works great for mixing and making pills with. But I also use it in cooking and I am very happy with the flavor it imparts.Finding black pepper ground this fine can be hard, in my experience. Having tried this brand, I know exactly where to go when I need more!

Nice flavor, the grounding is extremely fine. Keep that in mind when purchasing. It is hard to go back to the normal grounded pepper after adding this for a while to your foods.

I'm a black pepper lover and this is the very best I've found very fine dust so it gives flavor without having to be cooked with the meal the only black pepper I will be purchasing from now on so much more flavor and spiciness than others

I've been using this Black Pepper for about 3 years now and I LOVE IT. It adds the perfect flavor to any dish and lasts a very long time! I no longer buy pepper from anywhere else.

Has zero flavor. I would not recommend this product. We love pepper in my household and this is equivalent to adding magic unicorn dust to our meals. It has not flavor, no heat and no hint pepper in it. Very disappointed

the BEST fine ground black pepper I have ever had. Used in soups, chili, gravies and it is simply delicious. There is a special something that black pepper adds to food that nothing else can, and this, in my book, is simply the best

I love pepper dust for cooking.
